is eating almonds an hour before bed ok. I'm trying to cut, but tend to get hungry before bed. So instead of eating crap i try to limit myself to almonds and or cottage cheese.

As long as i keep my calories below maintenance are almonds and cottage cheese okay to eat an hour before bed?

I'm new to cutting, just learning about it.
Thanks.
