Eating fat with sugar slows down the absorption of the sugar resulting in a 
lower glucose spike which would be a good thing.

Yeast needs sugar which means that eating fruit like bananas will increase the 
food available to them.  Having just completed a drug course for potential 
candida overgrowth, the diet I was given included no fruits, sugars, or 
processed foods with sugars (like corn syrup).  The only part of that diet that 
I wasn't already doing was avoiding fruit.

There is a group of people who do food-combining of some sort and them might say 
something about veggies being eating in the evening, I don't know, but I've 
never personally heard of such a thing.
