# Calorie Tracker for Students: Cafeteria Trays, Takeout, and a Free App

> Students need a free log that handles trays and late delivery, not a $20 barcode subscription. Photograph the tray, keep protein visible, walk when the gym pass lapses.

A calorie tracker for students has to be free and fast on food that has no barcode: cafeteria trays, shared shawarma, and 11pm delivery. Photograph the tray. Log the drink. Save the two takeout places you actually repeat. A Premium scanner for campus groceries is the wrong product.

Khatwa is free on iOS and Android. Photo logging, a coach that uses leftover calories, and a home program for the weeks the campus gym is a rumor. That is the stack that survives exams.

### Free has to mean you can finish the day

Photograph the tray in Khatwa. Ask what is left. No logging cap for "just this week."

## The cafeteria is a restaurant with a tray

Log it like [restaurant food](https://www.khatwa.se/en/blog/how-to-log-restaurant-food-calories.md). Oil and bread still count. Protein still decides whether you are wrecked at 4pm. For a floor on grams, use [protein per day](https://www.khatwa.se/en/blog/how-much-protein-should-i-eat-per-day.md).
