Fans of winning teams, on the other hand, ate about 9% <b>less<\/b> saturated fat than they normally would. When games were very close, or the loss was unexpected, these trends were even more noticeable.<\/p>\n<p>May the best team win. But if that&#8217;s not your team this week, don&#8217;t bury your face in a platter of hot wings. If you&#8217;re feeling down, try thinking about a more positive time in your life (like when your team won!). It might seem silly, but those same researchers found that people who thought about a time when their team won were more likely to choose grapes and tomatoes over chips and candy.<\/p>\n<p>Pro tip?
