If you're doing resistance training then the prime window for protein synthesis is at least 24 hours. So it's not that big a deal if you lift and then don't refuel with tons of protein/carbs inside a 30-minute window. This is especially true if you ate a solid dinner an hour or two before training.

I think your concern about nutrient timing is putting the cart before the horse.

If your workouts will be more consistent, more intense, and more fun later at night, then that's when you should do it. That will impact your body more than the exact timing of your meals.
