Sports Analytics vs. Food Science Same Idea for Peak Performance?

Been mulling over this comparison lately sports analytics feels a lot like how food scientists break down recipes for the perfect dish. Both seem obsessed with tweaking variables to hit peak results, whether it’s an athlete’s performance or a recipe’s flavor.

As an electrician who nerds out over music theory and recording, I love seeing how data can fine-tune outcomes in totally different fields. But I’m curious: do folks in fitness or analytics think this comparison holds up? Are there big differences I’m missing, or is it really just another way to optimize a system? Would love to hear your takes.

Totally tracks, . Both fields are just chasing that sweet spot where numbers meet real-world results. Only diff is one’s got sweaty gym rats and the other’s got picky eaters.
