You might have more riding on the game than you think.<\/p>\n<p>A study published in the the journal, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.psychologicalscience.org\/index.php\/news\/releases\/for-disappointed-sports-fans-defeats-increase-consumption-of-fat-and-sugar-2.html\">Psychological Science<\/a>, reports that on the Monday following a football game, fans of losing teams ate about 16% <b>more<\/b> saturated fat and sugar than usual, and 10% more calories. 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?
