I work for 5 times of a week. I eat 4 times a day.But I think my night meal is not the lightest meal I have. I know to get a ripped abs the night meal should be the lightest of all. Can you suggest me something else so that i can have a ripped abs (other than having a lightest meal in the night).

Unfortunately, your ab muscles begin to show when your bodyfat percentage hits a certain level (usually below 10%). Even though you may have a heavy meal at night, it's the quality of food that you are eating that will really make a difference. And not just at night...every day. You may be consuming too many calories overall which won't yield you the results you want.

Try 5 meals then 6. Eat every 2-3 hours and include proteins in every meal. Finally eating more often doensn't mean eating more, so calculate your needs.
