Im fairly new to weight loss, and I've tried several bmr calculators but they all say something different. Some say 900, some say 1600, so i don't know what to do.
im 5'4 and i weigh 120 pounds. how many calories should i be eating to maintain, do you think? to lose?

    I hope you're not trying to lose at 5'4 120 lbs :/

    You're a perfectly healthy weight for your height. How old are you and what's your activity level? You should be maintaining your weight, and the figure you're after is your TDEE, not your BMR.

    They should not be so far apart. Are you entering all the same data? Did you miss some exercise on one?

    I'm 5'2 and 125 lbs. My goal is 120 lbs. I'm sedentary but I work out 4 times a week - I eat around 1500 lose 0.5 lb per week. Once I get to 120, I'll be looking to maintain. You are an absolutely ideal weight and do NOT to be losing anything. If you want to lose a pound or two (LITERALLY a pound or two) then eat 250 calories below your maintenance. 1200 is absolutely not okay for you.
