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!

I need more stats to give more advice.
Age, height, weight, date&score on last APFT, what score are you aiming for on your next test, etc.
edit: I looked at your profile and see you're a chaplain assistant. Interesting. I'm curious what rank you are. I remember chaplains started at O-3 but I never met a chaplain assistant.
19, 70", 165lbs, 247 on MAY07 (Haven't taken one since I arrived here). I'm aiming for a 270 by April, it's achievable I think.
Chaplain Assistants help out the Chaplain in physical security/force protection of the Unit Ministry Team and everything that we are acountable for. We purchase supplies for religious services, and religious service support. We plan and execute retreats and other events. We have a direct line to our Battalion (or higher echelon) CSM on issues of unit morale. We are the drivers for the Chaplain in a non-combat environment, and we are the gunner in a combat environment. It is a jack of all trades MOS. Chaplains I believe start off between O1-O2, I think they may be granted O3 upon completion of their required training. I am currently E-4(SPC).
