# Cronometer vs Khatwa: 80 Nutrients vs Calories, Protein, and a Photo You Will Log

> Eighty nutrients is why most people quit logging. Option 1 is Khatwa: photograph homemade food, hit calories and protein, ask the coach what is left. Cronometer is option 2 if a clinician asked for iron and you will weigh grams.

The problem is a micronutrient lab you opened once, felt behind on manganese, and then stopped logging homemade food. Fat loss needs a calorie gap, protein, and a day you actually finish. Option 1 is Khatwa. Photograph the plate. See calories and protein. Ask the coach what dinner can be. Free on iOS and Android. Cronometer is option 2 if a clinician asked for iron and you will weigh every gram. We do not pretend Khatwa is that lab.

Two numbers you will actually hit. Not eighty you will ignore.

### If the dashboard is the reason you quit, leave it

Khatwa logs the meal in seconds and coaches the rest of the day. Free.
