Do not eat carbs before bed. This is main reason we are gaining so much weight and turning into a society of blubber. It's all about your hormone levels. At night your sensitivity to insulin decreases and it must release more to deal with the carbs (bag of chips, pop, ice cream etc).
Human Growth Hormone is released about 90 minutes after you begin your sleeping for the night. It is a fat liberating hormone and necessary to build muscle and repair your body. When you have carbs in your system, the release of GH is suppressed. So, do not eat within a few hours of sleeping or only have some protein at night if you need to kill the hunger pangs. Veggies also can fit the bill for stopping the munchies at night. Stay away from high sugar veggies like carrots.
