I need help setting up a diet and work out plan?!

Question: I need help setting up a diet and work out plan?

I’m 15 years old, about to turn 16 in two months, I weigh 150 pounds, I’m really trying to get a six pack but I just don’t know where to start. Here is what’s available to me, a stationary petal bike, and internet. I really don’t have anything else. Now, I need a full run through, a full diet plan, work out plan, how often, and just the whole thing. Now, as for food, here’s what I like; I like, any sort of meat, like turkey, ham, chicken, pork, beef, I pretty much like all meat, I also love fruits, I like strawberries, pineapple, and mangos the best. I don’t like dairy really, like cheese or milk, and I don’t particularly eat any veggies other than corn. I really need help to know what to do! My normal day is… Wake up 6:30am, eat two eggs and four slices of 67% lean turkey bacon, then I go to school, and don’t get to eat until about 12:00pm, then I eat normally a chicken patty sandwich or slice of pizza since my school doesn’t offer much, then I get home and eat at around 3:30pm. I normally eat some form of steak, not to much seasoning, and white rice. On each day I’ll either have black beans with the rice, or corn. It alternates, then I don’t eat the rest of the day really, and at 8:30pm I start to work out. Sort of. I do this 10minute abs work out I heard was supposed to work and then another like 10 minutes of stationary biking. I do that every weekday. I don’t know if what I’m doing is good or bad! Please somebody help me figure something out! Thank you.

Doctors are good for more than just taking your temperature, you know... But here goes.

Change your eating habits- try to eat 4-6 small meals a day. Eating small meals throughout the day keeps your metabolism high. Drink a LOT of water. Since you didn't provide your gender, here's the suggested daily caloric intake for both- 1200 for women, 1600 for men. Never eat under that amount. If you do, your metabolism will slow down, and that doesn't help your cause at all. Stick to lean meats, and try to stay away from junk food. If you're weird like me and like to dip pizza in ranch, switch to Light ranch, it's a lot healthier. Don't ever skip breakfast. Eat slowly, because your body will be full long before it tells you it is.

Now, for exercise, aim for three or four times a week. If you have television (you didn't say), and you have Cox, they offer a FreeZone On Demand, and Exercise TV has tons of great, easy workouts. Your body doesn't start burning calories until about 30 minutes into your workout, so try to aim for an hour to an hour and a half of exercise. Cardio burns fat all over, there's no way to target. For toning, however, you can target, and the best target moves for abs are crunches. You can also find workouts online (http://www.exercisetv.tv/workout-videos/ has some good ones). Also, you burn calories by doing normal every day activities, like unloading groceries from a car, walking around the house, brushing your teeth, and even sleeping. I'm not sure if you're trying to lose weight or just tone, but if you have annoying belly flab, you'll need to burn it off with cardio before toning up the muscle beneath. Crunches alone won't get you a six pack.

Okay, I think that covers everything, but before you start any sort of diet/exercise program, you need to talk to a doctor. They can help you a lot more than Yahoo Answers can.
