I think the whole key to losing weight is working around your carb intake. Don't eat too much at night, because you won't be doing anything with it ... u need it for energy during the day, not while you sleep ... protein, on the other hand, should be taken before you sleep to help you regenerate.
Also, take a look at this little article on HGH ... i think it might be worthwhile reading further into it:
