It's not when you eat carbs that will make you fat… It's how much you eat that determines if you lose, gain or maintain your weight (see weight loss FAQ #22 here) but…
If not eating carbs at night is a strategy that works for you then stick with it but just realize the weight loss magic comes from you not eating as much since you stop eating at night.

58. Eat breakfast, Just like your mama told you!
Breakfast foods are the most low-calorie: Oatmeal, egg whites, whole-wheat toast, turkey sausage. If you eat a big breakfast, you aren't hungry until 3 pm And you don't want a massive lunch, so you'll have a salad and be satisfied until dinner. If you don't want to binge, eat breakfast.
