When I was lifting at night I would come home and eat a huge post workout meal, usually lean steak broccoli and some rice. then be in bed about an hour later. I'd wake up Fuller then usual muscle wise. Actually a little drier water weight wise also. I never had any thing I would call bad results from doing it.

You could continue eating what u are post workout which sounds good. But if u want u could add a scoop or two of Caesin protein to water and drink it right before u go to sleep.
The slow release of protein into your system until u wake up will ensure u remained anabolic throughout the night.

I'm with red I'd eat a nice meal and worry less about "carbs at night"
Post nutrition is a big one for me and I'm a natural fatty, I believe if you work out hard enough and put on enough mass then you will be fine. Besides there's no way in hell I'd be able to sleep with hunger pains after a brutal work out.

I'd be more concerned of missing a meal after working out. Not eating would be worse than eating. I ALWAYS eat a meal one hour after my post workout shake. Every night before bed i eat 1-2cups of fat free cottage cheese.

Slam down the food until you can barely breathe.....it's not even May, stop cutting!!

I worked out at 11p after all the shit with the marathon the other day....got back to my girl's house around 12:30, protein shake on the way home, 2 coffee cake muffins....then a half pizza, shower then bed.

I'm about 13.5-14% right now....eat until it's about to come back up and pay a visit is what I say.
