I'm a 17 year old male and i'm about 5'8 177 lbs and i'm looking to slim down a little bit, get toned, and increase my muscle mass. Could anyone give me any eating tips and/or tell me about how much protein i should be taking in every day? Thanks

I would say try to get around ~100g of protein every day. Cut down on carbs and work out a lot, at least 4x a week. Get into swimming too.

i read somewhere that if you's wants to gets major swoll, then rule of thumb is 1g of pr0tein for each pound that you weigh. and you probably don't have to worry too much about getting toned. increasing muscle will increase your metabolism (muscle burns more calories than fat). so you'll cut the unwanted fat eventually. i say this because i am too lazy to do cardio.

do you have a lot of body fat? just wondering

glutamine works wonders. take some after you work out, it'll build your muscles amazingly quick
