what is better...to eat fewer calories than you burn or the amount you burn?

I'm trying to lose fat weight in my abdomen (under my abs) it pokes my belly out. I also want to gain muscle and I workout hard. I probably burn a total of 2300 calories a day and lately I have been eating 1700 or 1800 calories a day so that I can burn fat. It doesnt seem to work. what am I doing wrong?

Recommended Answer:

If you are trying to convert fat to muscle, you need to eat as much as you burn. If you eat less, you will just lose weight, not gain muscle. I recommend eating lots of protein, such as meat and fish.
