Zis Boom Bah!
As discussed in the show, the Sneaky Chef loves this site! Zis Boom Bah helps parents create kid friendly dinners with the help of their children. They do this by simply asking kids what they want to eat through a fun and educational game called Pick Chow!
Kids get to enjoy playing with different dinner choices, and in order to achieve the highest score possible, they must create a balanced nutritious meal.
After they have finished with their selections they can save their dinners and they'll send the recipe off to their parents! It's truly a great way to get kids involved with dinner while teaching them the importance of making smart food choices.

Sneaky Fitness:
Fun, foolproof ways to slip fitness into your child's everyday life
(With 50 all-new Sneaky Chef recipes!)
Like the other Sneaky Chef books, Sneaky Fitness is a revolutionary way for parents to improve their family’s health—one sneaky day at a time! With over 100 age-appropriate activities, tips and 50 all-new Sneaky Chef® recipes for fueling newly-active kids packed into the pages of Sneaky Fitness - parents are guaranteed to keep their kids moving every day!
Sneaky Fitness will include: • Age-appropriate exercises and games to get any resistant little exerciser up and moving (with targeted chapters for preschoolers, grade-school kids, and ‘tweens) • Tips on specific toys and games that encourage exercise • More healthy (and sneaky) recipes for fueling newly-active kids
"Sneaky" Tips Include:
• Harness kids' "fidget factor" - We want them to fidget! Plant items in TV room like a hippety hop, mini trampoline or hula hoop--they'll naturally jump, bounce and move while watching (studies show fidgeting can burn up to 350 more calories per day than being stationary).
• Leave a stopwatch around and time them doing all their normal activities guaranteeing that they'll move a lot faster than normal and burn way more calories!
• Make it a rule that your tween must be up and moving while they're talking on the phone-allowing them to burn 3x calories than sitting.
Sneaky Fitness also allows parents to make exercise fun with games and activities such as:
• Dig to China: Burn 68 calories in 30 minutes by digging and filling a pail with dirt, snow or sand-this activity more than triples the amount of calories kids burn oppose to sitting in front of a TV or computer.
• Set Up Shop: Perfect for rainy days, this activity will have kids burning 48 calories in 30 minutes by creating their own grocery store using the cans and boxes in your pantry. They can bag the groceries and help carry them to the "car". After they're finished they return the items back to the pantry.
Just like slipping spinach into brownies, Sneaky Fitness shows that small changes add up to big benefits. Sneaky Fitness isn't a gym class or another afterschool activity to schedule. Instead, it's a way to weave a cardio workout, strength training, and flexibility into your kids' everyday routines without them even realizing it.

Sneaky Health Tip:
The Sneaky Chef reminds parents to keep portions under control by using salad or smaller plates instead of dinner plates - your kids will think they are getting more of a heaping helping than they actually are. Don’t just hand them the bag of chips, either. Instead serve snacks in small bowls so your kids aren’t tempted to keep dipping in. (These methods work for mom too!)

What Your Kids Burn Everyday
It’s sometimes difficult to estimate how many calories you burn doing everyday things. The list below will give you a benchmark (calculated for 60 minutes of activity for a 60 pound child). The numbers are clear: sitting in front of the computer or television generates as much energy as sleeping, and weaving daily activities into your child’s routine can make a big difference.
Kid’s Caloric Requirements
The calories listed here are for the average child. If yours is more active, add about 200 calories; if very active you can add about 200 to 400 more.
Age 2 to 3 years: 1,000 calories/day
Age 4-8 years: 1,200 (for girls); 1,400 (for boys) calories/day
Age 9-12 years: 1,600 (for girls); 1,800 (for boys) calories/day

Calorie Quick Tip: Long day? Ask your child for a back massage. She’ll burn 27 calories in 15 minutes!
Calorie Fun Fact: The instrument that burns the most calories is the drum - twice as many as playing wind and horn instruments.
Sports with Oomph: If your kids express an interest in playing a sport, why not steer them to ones that burn the most calories per minute? The following sports will burn more than 100 calories per half hour: Tennis, Swimming, Soccer, Track, Racquetball, Martial arts, Hockey, Football, Basketball

Sample Sneaky Activitiy:
Marching Band
You don't need seventy-six trombones to lead a big parade. All you need are some willing band members and some imagination. The music you make may not hit the top of the charts, but the exercise you're sneaking in is solid gold.
What you'll need:
• Musical instruments, or make your own with pots and pans
• beans in a coffee can
• a plastic container with water, or upside-down buckets
Who's playing: Preschoolers
How many: 2 or more
Prime time: Any Day, Weekends, Playdates, Parties
Lead your "band" around the house and/or outside, and up and down stairs, reminding them to march by bringing their knees up high as they go.
Fitness Factor: Cardiovascular Endurance, Coordination, Mood Booster!
Covert Calories: Marching will burn 53 calories in 20 minutes.
Sneaky Supercharge: Have them step side-to-side for one minute, skip for one minute, walk backward for one minute, and jump for one minute as you make your way through the parade route. You'll tack on an extra 72 calories.
