Any opinions on which calculator gives you the most accurate results because I tried all three and my results varied anywhere from 25-36%!!

None of them in my case. Both were telling me a different BMR than what I was seeing on average as I was sleeping based on what my BodyMedia fit device was recording overnight while sleeping. So I went to the local university and had the test run to see my Resting Meta Rate - it was almost exact to what the BodyMedia Fit device was saying which was 30-50% higher than what the fat2fit radio tables were saying.
So all the talk you see on here about eating your BMR calories, at least for me, were still vastly understated by the fat2fit calculators so even following the "online Gospel according to the MFP BB's" the numbers were not even close to being correct.0
