It depends on whether protein intake is currently sufficient. Since the protein needs of sedentary people who occasionally jog is very low the answer is probably no.
Utilizing the current USRDA guidelines the finance needs aproximately 70g of protein intake per day.
If the finance already meets these requirements adding additional protein calories would likely have the net effect of additional fat gain since protein shakes are not very satiating and unlikely to affect the rest of the dietary habits already in place.
Best of luck to your finance in boot camp.
