Your digestive system works at night too, albiet a bit slower. If you are trying to burn fat, I would not have a heavy carb laden meal before bed, but other than that, you should be fine. In fact, a slow digesting protein source with some fiber and a bit of healthy fats will help keep down catabolism from the overnight fast.
