yes, but your data is based on 1/8th of a medium melon which is equivilant to 69g of fruit which is about 1/3 cup or about 4 bites of melon.
I'm not saying fruit is horrible before bed, but just be aware of the carbs especially when trying to maintain proper macronutrient ratios
some quick info on carbs in fruit
cantalope (1c) ~ 12g
apple ~ 15g
pinapple (1c) ~ 20g
grapes (1c) ~ 28g
banana ~ 25g
orange ~ 15g
again not the end of the world, but i prefer to keep these earlier in the day. Just my preference.

yeah i got that much. i was responding to malkore.
but in response to that, what time do you go to bed? and what time are all your meals at?
its usually good to have something slow digesting before you go to bed to keep your metabolism up while you sleep. but according to your stats, you dont seem to be having any trouble at all. Just something to keep in mind if you end up having trouble shedding those last few pounds.
my last bedtime meal is usually cottage cheese. You want it to be as carb free as possible so this should be a pro/fat meal
anything low in carbs and containing a slow digesting protein like casein works.
