I don't remember who said what (plus we're watching football), so just a few random comments:
Abs/BF - since you can't isolate fat burn, general cardio and diet (not diet'ING) will determine how your belly looks (there's an old adage that "abs are made in the kitchen").
People also talk about mass vs. defintion (and incorrectly talk about weight vs. reps) - in truth, muscles grow, they don't "define" or alter themselves into a more "cut" structure. Build mass, reduce BF, there's your cut look. Lower weight, higher reps just result in more cardio response, reduce BF, and result in the above.
Eating - healthy is the way to go: no HFCS, no tranfats (both of those are just toxic), whole grain (much better than processed, plus whole grain uses way more energy to burn), then a proper balance of lean protein, carbs, healthy fats (Omega 3's, unsat'ed from Almonds, Olive Oils - stuff that evelates your HDL).
Does that mean bland chicken, rice and unseasoned vegs? No way - we do chicken parm, fajitas, chili, fish (even fried) also faux fried, pita pizzas for lunch, lean red meats, all sorts of delicious food. We also loosen up a little on the weekends.

Effing win, man.
Here's a touchy subject on my BB forum that I'm not really sure where I stand yet. I'm debating trying it out:
A lot of ectomorphs there have decided to throw down calories without thinking about the fat content. In all seriousness, they are buying like 5 big macs and eating them right before they go to bed, just as calories [and a mediocre source of protein]. Having said this, if I were to partake in a decent amount of cardiovascular exercise, this should [in theory] help stop me from gaining much bad weight [doubt I would anyway, ectomorph+high metabolism] and doing much damage to my heart.
I'm really tempted to try this. Who doesn't want an excuse to eat fast food without feeling bad about it?
