It you are looking to see your abs and have a flat, tight and tone tummy follow these 5 helpful nutrition tips and try a few of my ab workouts to help bring your abs out: 1. Your diet needs to include a lot of protein, it will help build muscle but it also keeps your metabolism high because your body has to work hard to break down this nutrition. Suggest about 30 to 40 percent of your calories in a day should come from protein. 2.
