Track calories without ads by using an app that does not put a video or full-screen upsell between foods. That complaint is the loudest 1-star theme on MyFitnessPal's free tier: "video ad every 3 food entries," "8-second wait before I can close." If logging takes longer than the meal because of ads, the diary dies. Photograph the plate. Save the favorite. Close the app. That is the whole loop.
Khatwa is free on iOS and Android with no interstitial ads in the logging flow. Photo, search, or type. Coach from leftover calories. You came to log dinner, not to watch a supplement ad.
Open, photograph, save. No full-screen wait.
If the ad is the workflow, switch
Khatwa logs the plate without making you wait through an upsell. Free on iOS and Android.
