I really have always had a problem with extra fat on my ab area. I can be 100 pounds and still have a gut. I do cardio and weights and my diet is pretty good. I don't want to become a fanatic about it but could it just be the genes i was born with?

PigtoBig: I had this very same conversation with Steve about increased meals boosting your metabolism.

Steve is quite right. There is no difference or benefit to splitting up your meals for weight loss into 5-7 meals a day. It is additional work for some without any benefit.

We had a discussion about this in the "Harsh Truth" section. Go read it up, I did the research for you and an overview.

As for seeing your abs, there is no real exercise secret. Most people's ab routines are quite sufficient. It is far more diet and losing the extra bodyfat to see the results.

Low bodyfat takes discipline! It is a tricky settling point to arrive at.
