Cheese is one of the foods generally recommended on a low carb diet. If you're on low carb you'll want the full fat cheeses, though check the Nutrition Fact label to be safe. As for the eggs, I can't really tell you anything as I use the whole egg every time I eat them (3-4 at a time).

Like everything else in life, it only matters if you want it to. If the level of saturated fat is a problem for you, then avoid it. Simple as that. Still look at the labels. If the low fat/fat free doesn't have any more carbs than the full fat version, go for it. If it's got more, make sure you watch the rest of your carbs the rest of the day.

Eat as late as you want to. I think most of us would say not to eat within a few hours of bed, especially if you're trying to lose fat, mostly because of metabolism slowing down and things being shuttled into storage or what have you instead being used as fuel. Me I don't eat within about 3 hours of bed time because of the way the food reacts with me (usually get heartburn, but occasionally have other problems). Your mileage may vary.
As far as the fat goes, I can't tell you what to do. Only you can do that. Me, I'll worry about what effects happen to me when the time comes. I have to many other things to worry about (lifts, bills, work, etc.) to give much thought to food as anything other than energy.

When you have your last meal also depends on when you workout. I workout at night so my last meal (can of tuna) is around 9:30pm. I also consume a protein shake with slow digesting proteins. I usually go to bed at 10:00pm so I'm only allowing about 30 minutes after my last meal. My body needs this at this time to recoop even though it is late in the evening. Pretty much everything I eat at this time will be used up. It also depends on what you eat late in the evening.

Your body produces a great amout of its growth hormone (and other hormones) while you sleep. This is when your body does most of its growing and repair. Therefore it is imperative that you eat a well balanced meal before bed. High protein, med fat, med/low carb (but not NO carb) would be ideal.

if your low carbing you should eat right before you go to bed, im not saying to gorge yourself till it's uncomfortable but your body is in a very catabolic state so you want to have something to help with its repair while your sleeping. remember, when your dieting you need to be as nice to your body as possible. something like hamgurger meat with american cheese on top is ideal and will help with muscle sparing.
when im dieting, i normally eat more. it sounds funny but it works.
its helped me spare alot of my muscle. most of my foods consist of high,high high protein al leat 50% of my calories, and fats and veggies. you cant lose. you can pretty much eat all the veggies you want.
good luck
