Sleep vs Eat for recovery

If I had to prioritize one to recover and build better, which one should I choose ? Getting 7-8 hours of sleep or reaching my calories/protein requirements for the day ?

Most days I start eating only after work at 5 pm and end up having to pick between staying up late to catch up on calories or sleeping enough hours. I understand both are vital for muscle recovery. I’m having trouble getting both done and I will work on it but it’s gonna take time. In the meantime, what can I do to get the most out of my workouts ?
