Would it be okay to eat a lot (~600 cals) before bed as long as I saty within my daily caloric limit? I often find myself short on cals at the end of the day. I usually eat slow digesting stuff like veggies, salmon, chicken, string cheese, almonds, etc. Also is eating a lot of light string cheese (60 cals, 2.5g fat, and 8g protein) (3-4 day) bad? Thanks in advance!

yes, due to a very busy day and little time I have just had 1300 cals before bed, and I am still low (bulking) as determined said, your body isn't exactly in tune to the time

I personally HAVE to eat a huge meal (~800-1kcal) prebed or else I wake up in the middle of the night starving. I have about 4kcal to work with so its not too hard to fit it in. As long as you are hitting your macro's its all good.
