I'm getting back into swimming and was wondering if whey protein is appropriate before and after a workout in the pool. I'm in the Army, so I also need to work on my running, sit-ups, and push-ups and whey has helped me with the lifting (which I don't plan on giving up). Any suggestions? Or should I revamp my nutrition plan. Right now I'm consuming a lot of protein and saturated fat, and low sugars and carbs (except fiber).
Thanks!

For people who tend to eat healthfully (lots of whole grains, fruits, veggies) it's easy not to get enough protein so I take whey. It's cheap and easy to digest. But read the ingredients CAREFULLY because they add lots of junk to it. I found this stuff, which seemed to be okay.
