# If MacroFactor Is a Spreadsheet You Will Not Open, Use a Photo Log Instead

> Adaptive calories still need a meal you will log. Option 1 is Khatwa: photograph dinner, ask the coach what is left, keep a program in the same free app. MacroFactor is option 2 if you will weigh in and pay.

The problem is a paid spreadsheet that changes your target and still leaves homemade dinner in a search box. MacroFactor is strong if you weigh in every week and you like the math. Most people who google an alternative already stopped logging. Option 1 is Khatwa. Photograph the plate. See calories and protein. Ask the coach what is left. Keep a guided program in the same free app. MacroFactor is option 2 if you will pay for adaptive expenditure and you will finish the diary.

## We do not pretend we are MacroFactor

Khatwa does not sell weekly expenditure math as the product. It sells a log you will finish plus training in one place. Head-to-head field: [best calorie counting apps](https://www.khatwa.se/en/blog/best-calorie-counting-apps-2026.md).
