Are calipers more accurate or BMR calculators?

When I used the machine at my gym where you grab onto the handlebars, my BMR came out as 400 less as it does on calculators, I'm wondering which one should I trust more. Are those machines reliable?

    There are many different calculator options. The gym one sounds like it is working from an indication of body fat. Your actual weight loss will tell you which is correct.
