Okay so I went on several different websites, including this one, and they gave me completely different BMR's!!! I put in the exact same information for each, and MFP gave me 1,288, and the other site 1,393. That's 100 calories!! Do you guys have any idea which one is right? /:

    The answer is "neither." The sites are just trying their best to estimate what your BMR is. Everyone's body is different, and unless you get some fancy science to actively monitor you, you won't know your real caloric burn. You've got a pretty small range here, I think that's about the best you can expect.

    You answered your own question (sort of): "That's 100 calories".
    No significant difference, really.
