    They are all just an estimate. There is no way to tell 100% what your actual BMR is. And from the look of your display pic, you are thin so it's not going to take to much to run your body :P

    I just looked at that site and used the healthy body calculator and the chart that is given is not your BMI but the calories you can eat to lose whatever weight goal you put in. The minimum amount of calories is 1200 so it won't go any lower. So, I wouldn't worry, I don't think it's your BMI that's 1200. I looked for a specific BMI calculator and couldn't find one on that site, but then maybe I didn't look hard enough?

    um... I meant BMR in all the places where I typed BMI!

    I just entered my info and it says I shoul be at 1490 and MFP says 1720. It wierd cuz I usually end up eating right around 1500. This other site asked many more questions, I'd tend to go with the other sites results.

    then yes, i think that's a pretty low maintenance for anyone, especially if you exercise regularly. I'd just stick with MFP and keep doing what you're doing now!

    It wanted me to eat over 1850calories a day and 65 grams of fat to lose 2 pounds a week. Much higher estimates than MFP.

    Dont forget there are several methods for calculating your BMR. Clearly they use a different one to MFP.
