Is my diet okay for gaining muscle and losing fat?


I am really doing whatever I feel I need to in order to get a six pack soon, and I’m definitely heading in the right direction, but I’m a little worried about my diet.

I work out 2-3x a week for an hour (pushups, pullups, weighted situps, etc), and vary it every week. I also do ab workouts like palates a few times a week.

My diet is fine on fat, fairly low carbs, and very high in lean protein. I also drink plenty of water and consume dietary fiber and eat flax seeds. I also use patentrim diet pills.

The problem in question: I only eat like 1600 calories a day, and as a 6 foot 174lb 22yr/old male I question if I’m hurting myself. Also, I drink one evening a week about 8 drinks, although I’m still under-calorie for the day.

The dailyplate.com says I could eat like 1800 more calories a day to maintain my weight. Also, a body-fat meter says I’m 11.8% body fat.

Am I on the right track to get a 6-pack or is my diet going to mess it up?
