if your a hard gainer and looking to gain - i say yes yes yes eat before bed i did this years ago when i was younger and i did it every night i could when i went from 120 to 180 naturally in 2 years

i firmly believe if your trying to gain mass and weight to eat before bed then take a protein shake so it will repair your muscles while you sleep - zma is also very good before bedtime and will help you sleep much deeper

but if your trying to lose fat dont eat before bed

You should always consume protien before bed. Best would be a casein protien shake or some cottage cheese. You need the slower digesting protien in your body so you don't become catabolic during sleep. I try not to eat many carbs within 2 hours of bed but I'm against going to bed on an empty stomach even when I'm cuttting. Besides you'll feel much better when you wake up which will give you more energy to burn more fat.

If you are trying to gain weight then yes eat like a horse no matter when it is. LOL.

Here is a VERY interesting read about this exact topic.
It comes from a publication from Harvard Medical.

If you want to grow, you have to eat. And when do you grow?

While you're sleeping. So consuming a source of casein protein is highly advisable if you want to get the most out of your effort.

Cottage cheese or low fat yoghurt with honey are excellent choices.
