My diet consists of high protein, approximately 200 grams a day. This consists of egg whites, tuna fish, chicken, and occasional red meat. My carbohydrates are kept lower, about 125 grams a day, mostly consisting of oatmeal. I time my carbohydrate feedings in order to maximize its benefits. Breakfast and post workout seems to do the trick just fine for me. Fats are consumed in moderation consisting of flax oil and nuts. I use one meal replacement packet and some CLA to supplement my dietary needs.

My workout is a four day weight training split routine. I do chest and shoulders on day one, back and abs on day two, biceps and triceps on day three and legs on day four. I train abs twice per week with a lower rep and multi set routine. Hanging leg raises and slant board situps are my two favorite exercises. Cardio is done four-five times per week in the morning on an empty stomach to speed up the fat burning process.

  

Consistency and training to failure is very important for me to  achieve my  physique. My ab workout is done at a fast pace with very little rest in between sets. I always change my exercises every workout in order to confuse my body and keep it responding to my workouts. My cardio is mostly done in intervals in order to get my heart rate up and maintain a higher calorie burn.

My 5 tips to better abs are as follows.....
eat small frequent high protein meals to help speed up your metabolism, this burns fat!
train to failure, keep going until you cannot physically perform another repetition  

perform cardio to keep fat levels low either first thing in the morning on an empty stomach or right after a weights workout
switch exercises to keep your muscles confused every five weeks, it will also keep your routines fresh
consume a high protein/carbohydrate meal after training, this is to help replenish your muscles to help them grow!
