    Assuming you would prefer to gain more muscle than fat, I've heard that carbs late at night are more likely to turn into fat since your body doesn't need much fuel while sleeping.

    I would try to spread them out evenly throughout your first 6 meals and cut back a couple hours before bed (last 2 meals?).
