Sports bettors spend hours breaking down numbers…
then wipe out their edge with a terrible lunch.
This is the gap nobody talks about.
Heavy meals, sugar crashes, and “comfort food” don’t just affect your waistline — they affect patience, focus, and late-day decision-making. And if you’ve been around long enough, you already know this truth:
Bad energy creates bad second-half bets.
That’s why ATS STATS is launching a new series called ATS Fuel Index — quick, practical food ideas designed for bettors who want steady energy, clear thinking, and fewer emotional decisions.
No diets.
No preaching.
Just meals that don’t sabotage your card.

- Portions big enough to require a nap
If your salad makes you sleepy, your bankroll feels it later.
