Many who repatriate are lured by a vibrant startup scene in India that is drawing unprecedented capital from venture and private equity firms and is buoyed by an effervescent market for stocks. But they are also disenchanted with what they perceive as America’s bleak and hopeless immigration landscape, where the wait times for green cards are tortuously long, and the limits on launching startups for newcomers are highly restrictive.

As long as you feel good during and after your lifts, you're fine.
If you're trying to be a world class Olympic lifter, yes you are. Otherwise no. Protein timing doesn't actually matter much, the "anabolic window" is significantly longer than popular literature makes us believe.

I was going to post a similar question as OP as I recently read that as long as your overall protein intake is adequate you don’t need to “protein load” before or after lifting. Sounds like you agree.
You generally want to get protein and healthy food in you quickly to help your body recover.
If losing weight/trimming down is your goal, try cardio in the morning when your body is running off whatever is left in your system, followed by afternoon/evening lifts with a good meal after.
4:30 AM cardio. Post work lift. Not easy especially if you have kids/neck deep with work, but doable.
Depends what your goal is. If you want to get bigger and stronger, intermittent fasting is suboptimal to just eating 3-4 meals a day with 40g of protein per meal. Muscle protein synthesis is maximized when you have protein regularly throughout the day. IF is more for people looking for convenience and a way to lose weight

Agree with AM. Depends on the goal. If you are fasted and lift, your muscles need protein after - not 15 min but I’d eat sooner than 4 hrs later. If you have protein before you workout, the timing of after workout protein is less important. But you didn’t mention anything about protein synthesis or recovery.
If your goal is simply to decrease body fat (say get from 16-12%, or 12-<10) then sure.
Are you Building muscle or losing weight? Cutting, maintaining or shredding fat?
Are your lifts suffering? Do you feel strong? Are you progressing?
Lots of factors to consider, not enough info to answer.
Nope

No protein shake either?
