Health calculators for your well-being

Our health calculators give you insight into your body and health. From BMI calculation and calorie counting to weight loss and macro distribution, you can use our free tools to better understand your health.

BMI calculator - understand your weight

BMI (Body Mass Index) is a simple measure of whether your weight is healthy relative to your height. A BMI between 18.5 and 24.9 is considered normal weight. In Denmark, approximately 50% of the adult population has a BMI over 25, according to the Danish Health Authority. Our BMI calculator provides insight into your general health.

Calorie calculation and weight loss

To lose weight, you need to burn more calories than you consume. Our calorie calculator helps you calculate your daily calorie needs based on age, sex, height, weight and activity level. A calorie deficit of 500 kcal daily typically results in weight loss of approximately 0.5 kg per week.

Macros and meal planning

Macronutrients (protein, carbohydrates and fat) are the foundation of a healthy diet. Danish recommendations are approximately 10-20% protein, 45-65% carbohydrates and 25-40% fat. Our calculator helps you distribute macros based on your goals.

Medicine subsidies and health expenses

In Denmark, Sygeforsikring "danmark" provides subsidies for medicine, dentistry and physiotherapy. Calculate your medicine subsidy and see what you can save. Sundhed.dk also offers calculators for children's height and development.
