Are beans, during dinner, considered "starchy" or "fibrous" carbs?
(I need some soluble fiber, hehe)
What is your verdict?
How about lentil soup?

They're both. They are a complex carb source, but pack a lot of fiber. Personally, I'd stick with fruit or yogurt for before bed because I think beans or any other complex carb would upset my stomach. If you can handle it, then I'd say they're fine. They pack a little bit of protein as well.

Like I mentioned, fruit or yogurt are my favorites, dairy is fine. If you can handle digesting them, any complex carb works: oatmeal, whole wheat bread, brown rice, sweet potato, etc.
I try to keep carbs minimal at night since I store fat pretty easily, but if you have a faster metabolism, you can get away with any slow burning carb.

green fibrous veggies
and before bed focus more on protein + fat
chicken/ tuna / beef or if you can a caesin protein..... Cottage Cheese , Milk . Yogurt, or caesin shake
+ healthy fat --- Peanut Butter, Almonds, Healthy oil
mix and match and enjoy.. if you want have some veggies on the side ( green beans, califlour, broccoli, asparagus, small salad
