# FatSecret vs Khatwa: Community Search vs a Photo of Unlabeled Dinner

> Search took longer than the meal. Option 1 is Khatwa: photograph unlabeled dinner, ask the coach what is left, train in the same free app. FatSecret is option 2 if you like recipes and packaged hunting.

The problem is a community search box for food with no label. Homemade plates and mixed takeout are not in the US-heavy list. You already spent longer searching than eating. Option 1 is Khatwa. Photograph the plate. Ask the coach what is left. Keep training in the same free app. FatSecret is option 2 if you want recipes, a web diary, and packaged hunting.

If search is slower than the meal, skip search.

### Keep the free price. Log the plate instead of the brand.

Khatwa: photo, coach, programs. Free on iOS and Android.
