  Not necessary; it might or might not help. I'm not sure because I wasn't very much into such things till 2nd year army. BMT training consists of a high amount of cardio, hence I don't actually really see a need for extra protein, except in the case of SOC...
  
  In Tekong, I remember got lots of hard boiled eggs in the morning that people don't eat. You could to eat more of them from bunk mates who don't want them
  
  Either that or you could bring in tuna cans to eat as supper

  protein helps in fat loss..
  so you might include them in your diet..
  use it as pre-post workout drinks..
  
  make smoothies with them in between meals..

  I dont see any boiled eggs in the morning. And my company (dragon) dont allow us to bring in food, because we are under obese. I am in there for 3 weeks plus already. When in night or got free time, i will do my own training like push up, run up and down the stair, assist chin up etc.

  wait after BMT... Your main goal now would be fat loss.
  
  If you seriously want to smuggle food in, there's no way they can really check I believe In that sense, protein bars would be extremely easy to hide, although they are definitely a tad more expensive.
  
  If only I knew the things I know now before BMT, it wouldn't have been so bad for me
