Most of your calorie burning comes from sitting around. Your body naturally does it. Exercising really only burns a small percentage of total calories. Technically if you eat right and work out a little bit you will lose weight (if you're overweight). The idea is to keep your metabolism as high as possible. So 6 meals a day does just that, add in some exercise and you're on your way to being lean.
To gain muscle is a different story all together.

Calorie deficit is what's needed.
Here is a quote of mine from an old post:
Here is a quote of mine from an old post:
You need to calculate your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) first.
You can use the following Spreadsheet file to figure all that out:
hxxp://www.michaelandkendra.com/BMRCALC/Cut.xls
After that you should use a site like www.fitday.com or www.itrainharder.com to track your diet and make sure you're on track. You can usually find nutrition information somewhere else online if you can't find it there.
I can tell you that 1226 calories is FAR to low. You must cut correctly to lose weight in a manner that your body will react correctly to. I personally intake 3500-4500 calories a day
.
I'd get a good Meal Replacement (www.bulknutrition.com or www.dpsnutrition.net) to supplement your diet and possibly replace a meal in the morning or throughout the day. Try to get your calories throughout 6 meals a day.
Here are some links for Fat Loss:
