I would say if you take 7 grams of protein, 10 grams of carbs (good) and 3 grams of fat (mono or polyunsaturated) within about 1 hour before bed would be fine. that would be 95 calories. This will help you not burn muscle when you sleep and help you slip into a fat burning to repair your muscles that you worked that day. I would not do any more than the above. This comes from the 40 30 30 method of the Zone. mostly for weight management or weight loss.
The meal before this would be 3-4 hours earlier.
