Hey , Im a 17 year old male and Im 5"7" what should my daily intake of fat be(grams)? Im currently 9 1/2 stone , which I know isnt that heavy , but it seems to accumilate in some areas more than others ie. my upper legs and over my abdominals. Any body know how much fat I should be taking in each day to achieve this?

its not about fat intake - its about calories in vs calories out.
find calorie/fitness calculator on the net, enter all your stats and it will tell you how many calories you need a day to maintain, take off 300-400cal off that number and thats how much you need to lose.
dont try to lose more than 1-2lbs a week - its not healthy to lose more.
eat 5-6 small meals a day (eat every 2-3 hours)
5-8 servings of fruit and veggies a day
8 glasses of water
have complex carbs for breakfast - they give you energy
have lean meat (protein) for dinner - repairs muscle
cardio exercise 4-6 times a week for 30-50min, light weight training
dont consume foods that are made of white flour (white bread, cakes, past etc.), sugar loaded foods (cookies, icecream, candy etc) and nothing fried - no junk food.
