Drink more water.

Fish/lean chicken salad with low fat/salt dressing. Lean steak. Sushi. Some beans. Nuts/fruits for snacking.

Plus One!!!!!!

Does this work with a 23yr old. I am currently a vegetarian so I am bad when it comes to protein intake but...

I'm hardly an expert dietician nor body builder or trainer but I have been a swim coach and assistant and have always been on a swim team or Master's workout group. I think the physical proportions that rock the speedo are what comes from such activities, and a lifetime of them, and keeping the weight under control with smart eating and monitoring of changes. A lot of dryland exercises with or without weights are great for improving this look, for this I very highly recommend a book called "Swimming Anatomy" by Ian Macleod.

Ditto for me but are there not sources of protein other than meat to be applied to a fitness regime?

Iv'e tried Rice n beans, & Pistachios and nuts. Eggs seem to do the most for me but even those dont fully do the job.
