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.

True! And yes, resistence training.
Normally it would be no problem for me to have a glass of milk and a banana at 22:00 after my workout. But i'm on a diet and I prefer to eat my food when I'm hungry. I guess I'll try it out foodless, and if I wake up feeling like crap I'll add a glass of chocolate milk after WO.
