you are much better off with some whole food before bed...some bonelessskinless chicken breasts with a few pieces of broccoli/lettuce and a few caps of fish oil...if you are dieting really strict you could go with a can of tuna and after you ea it take a few capsules of psyllium.(its important to get in some fiber whenever your eating protein, it aids in digestion)..that way you eliminate the few grams of sat. fat in the chicken and you can skip the capsules of fish oil since the 1 or two grams of fat in tuna is omega 3. but you definitely need to eat before going to sleep.
