I just want to know is it correct to say:

Ayer, por la mañana, yo no salí nada.

meaning:

Yesterday, in the morning, I did not go out at all.

Your sentence is correct. Por la mañana and De la mañana are equally correct. No...nada and en absoluto (lo? not sure it is needed) are also equally correct. I found no nada and por la mañana in examples in the dictionary. Yo is not needed here.

He is correct... It should read.. Ayer por la mañana, no salí en absoluto. - PapoPaz, May 2, 2013

"Ayer de la mañana, no salí en lo absoluto." The coma after yesterday is not necessary because it is an adjective that modifies the prepositional phrase, "in the morning." I have always used "de la" when referring to in the morning or at night; i.e.:"Son las dos de la mañana." Also, en lo absoluto sounds better to me.
