17yrs old, 170 pounds. I workout everyday,
lift weights, and play sports and I still
have this annoying amount of belly fat! I
have a high protein extremely low fat diet
and eat around 2000-2200 calories. I do
many many ab exercises and still this
belly remains, please tell me what to do
to get rid of it.

you need to incorporate at least 30
minutes of cardio to your excercise and
you might want to cut down a few calories
as well, i dont know what your height is
so its hard to tell what weight you should
be at, dont forget to eat a BALANCED diet,
you dont want to eat TOO much protein for
your weight as it will only turn to fat as
well if your body cant use it...i believe
you calculate the amount you should be
eating by taking body weight, divide by
2.2 and then multiply by .8 I THINK, this
is straight off my head from trying to
remember from nutrition class, any extra
protein you consume will not help,
remember to stay away from simple
carbs(white breads, sugars) and eat whole
grains...keep it up, the belly fat wont
fall off fast but in a few weeks you
should see a difference! Clothes should
fit better, you should feel better and i'm
sure you'll get those "wow you look
great!" comments haha

well you're on the right track! many guys
that do lift weights dont put in enough
cardio which is really important! So i
think if you maintain and healthy diet and
add some cardio to your work out you
should see changes..remember, weight
lifting/ab excercises will TONE those
muscles but if you got a layer of fat on
top you cant see them! Thats where the
cardio should help out! just stick with it
