    What is your weightliss goal on both apps? Looks like you’ve chosen 1/2 pound less here.

    Other apps may estimate your BMR using different formulae taken from different studies.
    Other apps may apply different multipliers to your estimated BMR.
    ( Go to this calculator and you can get six different estimates - https://www.sailrabbit.com/bmr/ )


    But in your position as you have been calorie counting you should know what your weight is doing at the calorie level you were previously eating at so I'd suggest working from your own data rather than starting from scratch again. If you are losing near the rate you desire then carry on - you can manually set your number instead of taking the number from the guided set-up.

    BTW - Often MyFitnessPal appears lower than other calculators as exercise isn't included in its estimate unlike most other apps, so it's a bit unusual that it came out higher.
