Hi,
So I have checked over my BMR and have just used 4 calculators inc MFP. Two say 1298 inc MFP and two say 1404 so which is right?
My stats are:
Female
Height 5'' 2'
129 pounds
22 years old
Also what is my activity level? I work in an office job monday - friday (alot of sitting down) BUT i exercise 3 times a week for an hour and on average burn 500-600 calories per session according to my HRM monitor. So I assumed I was lightly active instead of sedentry - is this right?
Currently I am set to eat 1335 calories a day and DO NOT eat exercise calories back.
Can someone advise if my stats are correct and which BMR is the correct one?
Thanks.

I would average the results.
They are all a math equation so that's why they have differences. There's no way to tell which one is right unless you have it professionally tested.0 -

And I would make sure ur NET is between the BMR and the number by ur activity level. This is what I'm trying to do. It's called eating more to weight less.0 -
