Discrepancies when calculating BMR?

I had been going by MFP which told me that my BMR was 1318, but according to this site http://www.bmi-calculator.net/bmr-calculator/, my BMR is 1413. I then decided to try out a few other sites to see what they say and half of them tell me 1320 and the other half tell me 1406. So, what's with the 100 calorie discrepancy? Should I aim for the lower number, higher number, or say screw them both and aim for the middle?

    They're all just estimates. It doesn't matter much. What do you want to know your BMR for? To estimate your TDEE?
