DQS Mobile
This app allows you to calculate your daily Diet Quality Score (DQS) as described in Matt Fitzgerald's book, Racing Weight.
The Diet Quality Score is a simple instrument that allows athletes to measure the overall quality of their diet. The DQS Mobile app was designed to make it as easy as possible to calculate a Diet Quality Score each day.
As you eat throughout the day, enter the servings of each category of food that you consume. Tap a box to consume one serving of that category, tap it again and it will become a half serving, and one more tap will set it back to zero for that box. You can tap the category name to view an explanation of what foods fall under that category. Your total DQS score for the day is shown in the upper right corner of the page. DQS data is saved for each day you track it.
You can also log your weight on the bottom of the Tracking page. We recommend you log your weight no more than once per week.
The Graphs page lets you see how you are doing with your Diet Quality Score over time. You can view your data over the last week, month or year. When viewing yearly data, it is displayed as 52 week-long averages. You can view graphs showing your total DQS, your weight, or your DQS score by specific category.
You can set a target weight and a target DQS score on the Profile page.

Worked in a mediocre fashion until recently. Required me to reauthenticate and won't accept any password I generate and reset it to. Validation seems to be happening instantly in the app, not server side. Seems like some change to the form validation that the app literally does not tell you how to fix. Completely unusable.
Works well when it works. Loses the day's dietary data three days out of five. Only loses data once per day. I bought the app in order to remember things. It forgets them. If it remembered them consistently, then it would easily rate 4 or 5 out of 5.
I used to use this app, stopped for a while, and haven't been able to get past the new login page. I've tried to create an account, just get an error message. Uninstalled and re-installed, same problem.
The app is working perfectly despite other reviews to the contrary. This app is a valuable resource if you've read Training Weight and want to implement its recommendations. If you haven't read the book, you can use the app to your advantage, but it won't be as informative. The great thing about this app is that it makes you feel accountable for your food decisions and it's super easy to log your daily food consumption. Read the book. Use the app.
Excellent! Simple to use, easy instructions, based on science but most importantly based on what the elite athletes we aspire to emulate do, i.e. eat for performance & health.
I used to really like this app, but since installing it on my new phone, it won't accept any password, even when I set a new one. So it is unusable. Too bad, because I really liked it before.
When it works its great, but half the time it deletes my logs for the day.
Cannot login or create an account (get error message: invalid session)
This app had issues before but they seem to be fixed so very happy
The most effective weight loss app I have used!
Read book, comparing with my fitnesspal this is poor
If this app worked well, I would probably give it 4 stars. It is simple and easy to use (when it works). However, 2 big issues with it: 1) It often forgets what I have already input for the day. I load it and the day has no info 2) It crashes on re-load almost every time. It's quite quick to start up so it doesn't make it unusable, but very irritating
simply powerful i love the concept of the agnostic healthy eating plan described in the Diet Cults book. no forbidden foods, just good guidelines. this app is the perfect companion to help get a good picture of eating habits. it does just what is needed. well worth the small price.
I know previous versions of this app left a lot to be desired, but I love the current one. I'm very happy to finally have the vegan version, as well as the half-point count. Simple, easy and to the point, without any unnecessary 'fluff'..
Love the new look and added features! It's buggy on my phone, Samsung s7, when I try to enter profile information.
App will not allow me to create an account to get started. Wasted $$.
I like the idea of this app. However, it needs work. It won't let me review past meals for a certain day. For example, if I want to review what I ate for lunch, I cannot expand the lunch section. Also, sometimes it doesn't even let me view snacks as I am adding food to that category. Also it doesn't save your data. I wish it would have weekly, monthly, or yearly reviews where I could see my progress. If the app would fix these things, my rating would dramatically increase
I can't believe I paid for this... Been attempting the app for 3 days now. The app stops calculating after adding 4-5 items, doesn't even add new items if it's crashed/deleted everything, and seems to be a LOT more of a headache than the old school, hand written method. The really sad part? Several years ago I did get leaner and faster doing the DQS, so was excited to do it again now that I'm wanting to start training again.
The app hasn't been updated in well over a year despite numerous bugs. Ridiculous that they're charging for this garbage. Thanks for the refund Google.
This would be better if it was a true tracker rather than a glorified calculator. Complete waste of money!
This app has never been hugely stable but was still useful. However, recently when I open it i am greeted by a login/sign-up page. I have never seen this before. When i try to sign up i get the message "invalid session ticket" and can go no further, effectively rendering the app useless.
