Eating Carbohydrates before bedtime causes your body to have decreased production of the hormone that rebuilds your muscles during sleep.

The thing is though there are SOOOO many theories to why not or why to eat carbs before bed. I personally never do. I will have cottage cheese(about 4g lactose) and 2 tbs peanutbutter. Works great for me.
Some sources state that people can eat carbs because you burn a lot of calories when sleeping(~600-660) and so its ok to eat carbs, and some sources state that eating carbs is going to increase your Body Fat just because you aren't burning them for energy in the night.
I just go by what the source I posted states, plus I haven't lost any gains over the years I haven't been eating carbs before bed so I just stick to it.
