is it ok to eat most of my calories at night?

1. Meal timing is irrelevant to weight loss, gain, or maintenance. You could eat all of the calories necessary for your weight goal at 2 am and be fine.
2. "Clean eating" has more to do with health than weight. You could eat all of your allotted calories in gummy bears and lose weight.
3. If you like consuming that much milk, don't bother with people who say you shouldn't. Not sure how you're drinking that much milk and staying within your calories, but that's none of my business.
4. IIFYM/flexible eating is indeed real. See point #2.0 -

Meal timing doesn't typically matter for adults, but if, as I strongly suspect based on the OP's writing style, questions, and logic, the OP is a teenager (and not 18 as they've written on their profile), it is probably a good idea for them to eat during the day so they can have energy for learning and studying and playing sports and whatever else growing kids do.
If you're under 18, OP, you really should go to the appropriate forum (Spark Teens http://www.sparkteens.com/ ).0 -

A calorie at 8pm is the same as one at 8am.0

Open up your food diary if you want people to give you more specific advice, sounds like you aren't getting what you need.0

Go to "Food" (second tab from the left on the blue bar at the top of the screen, when you're logged in via computer)
Then click on "Settings" (from within "Food")
Scroll down to "Diary Sharing" and select "Public"0 -

Even with Low fat (1.5%) milk it's almost 1000 calories.0
