# How to Log Calories in Under Two Minutes (Without Typing Every Ingredient)

> Photograph the meal, save repeats as favorites, skip the ingredient-by-ingredient search. Tracking that takes ten minutes is why people quit in week one.

Log calories in under two minutes by photographing the plate, correcting the obvious miss, and saving anything you will eat again as a favorite. Do not type olive oil, chicken, rice, and cucumber as four searches. That is the workflow 1-star reviews describe as "I spend longer logging than eating." Speed is the feature. Accuracy within a useful band comes second, and only if you actually finish the day.

Khatwa is built for that order: photo, search, or type, then one-tap favorites. The coach already has today's number when you ask what dinner can be. Free on iOS and Android.

### If logging is slower than the meal, the app lost

Photograph dinner. Favorite it. Ask what is left. That is the two-minute loop.

## The ads make it slower on purpose

MyFitnessPal 1-star threads keep mentioning full-screen ads between entries. That is not a calorie problem. It is a product that charges your attention until you pay. A free log that you can finish is worth more than a famous database you abandon. See [free calorie counters without a daily cap](https://www.khatwa.se/en/blog/best-free-calorie-counter-app-2026.md).
