There’s no such thing as localized fat loss. Actually there is, it’s called liposuction. Sorry, but all those crunches will not remove the fat from your midsection. You can not choose where you lose fat. Your genetic blueprint is what determines where you lose fat. Suffice it to say; when you go into a caloric deficit you start burning fat. That fat can come from anywhere and everywhere.
You can not gain muscle and lose fat at the same time. This is practically a basic law of physics. To build muscle (protein synthesis) you need a caloric surplus. To burn fat you need a caloric deficit. Obviously you can have a caloric surplus and a caloric deficit at the same time. Therefore you can not l lose fat and build muscle at the same time. Now there is a caveat where beginner bodybuilders will experience a small gain in strength/muscle at the start of their fat loss program, but that is short-lived.
You can not lose fat without losing muscle. When yougo into a caloric deficit your body looks for energy to burn. Simply put, there are two main stores of energy that your body can burn; fat and muscle. Your body will want to burn both and you can not stop that from happening. What you can do is minimize the muscle loss through a high-protein diet and resistance exercise.
You should not be working your abs everyday. Your abdominal muscles are made from the same muscle fibers as all the other muscles in your body. They do not differ in composition or structure so why would you treat them any differently from any other muscle in your body. Give your abs rest between days that you work them and you will be rewarded accordingly.
You can not change your bone structure. Furthermore you can not change the anatomical variances that occur from person to person. For example, some people have a cleft in their chin. You may not. No matter how much fat you lose, you STILL won’t have a cleft in your chin. There’s a reason why the cosmetic surgery is so highly sought after.
No two people are the same. You see that disclaimer on every ad? The one that says “Results may vary”. You may be doing the same thing someone else is doing. You may be eating the exact foods prescribed in the exact quantities. But quite possibly you will not achieve the same results. Remember, no two people are the same and the genetic blueprints our bodies use to make changes are as different as bone structure and other differences. Results will vary from person to person. Your results may be better or they may be worse. What you should learn is how to adjust to overcome the differences.
Skipping breakfast leads to weight gain. When you skip breakfast (or any meal for that matter), your body keeps your metabolism low to prevent caloric expenditure. This happens because body goes thinks you are starving/dying and therefore goes into “preservation mode”. The best way to kick start your metabolism in the morning is by eating a large breakfast to tell your body to wake up and producing the enzymes needed to metabolize fat to lose weight. - Source
