The problem is a "best calorie tracker" list that ranks databases. You do not live in a database. You live on a phone, in a kitchen, on a Friday. Option 1 is Khatwa. Photograph the meal on iPhone or Android. See calories and protein. Ask the coach what is left. Keep a guided program in the same free app. Lose It, Yazio, Lifesum, and Cronometer are option 2 for a niche.
What to demand in 2026
- Photo, search, and manual entry. Barcode-only is a grocery app.
- Calories and protein on the home path. Micros can wait.
- A coach that has today's log, not a static meal plan.
- Training in the same place, home or gym.
- Apple Health or Health Connect for steps, without eating the watch back.
- A language you actually speak. Arabic and English, not English with a translate button.
MyFitnessPal still has the name. The others each keep a niche. We compared several of them already: free calorie apps, Lose It, Lifesum, Yazio, Cronometer.
1. Khatwa: the one we put on both stores
It is free on iOS and Android. You photograph real food, including homemade and takeout. The coach answers from remaining calories. Guided programs sit next to water, progress photos, and badges. Steps can sync from Apple Health or Health Connect. That is the full weekday: log, ask, train, walk, sleep, repeat.
