Help? Which BMR is the right BMR?

xFamousLastWordsx · February 2013

So, I know that you should never eat below your BMR. I decided to check with BMR calculators to see what they say (Yes I am aware these are just estimates and not 100% accurate) however, some are quite different from eachother.

1312 - This one is from MFP, others are from different calculators I found off google.
1404
1397
1691
1520
1662
1397
1410
1530
1547
1414

So the lowest is MFP's estimate of 1312, and the highest is 1691. That's quite a difference, and am not sure what to go by out of my options. If it's 1312 then I'm right on track, but if I am closer to 1691 then I am eating below my BMR, which I know is bad.

So what do I do? :noway: I don't want to ruin my metabolism by eating below what I should be.

So according to that site my BMR is 1402, which means I am eating below my BMR. Are we sure that site is accurate? Like more accurate than any of the others?

I found that most bmr calculators should only be uswd as a rough estimate. Youll have to go through some trial and error and figure out whats working for you
