myfitness pal shows my BMR at ~2150 calories ... but if I cut that by 1000 to lose the safe 2 pounds a week, I'd die. Other sites show it in the high 2000's like 2900.
Any insight?

did you put in an activity level on the other ones?
2150 for just an RMR (basically what your body would burn if you didn't move all day) makes sense, add in exercise and just general walking around and you can get up to like 2900-3000
so if you want to lose 2 pounds a week drop 1000 calories from that and it's around 2000
