If you're reguarly doing resistance training then yes, you will be using up a lot of calories in your sleep. The amount will depend on how intense you train and how often ect. I train reguarly and always go to bed on a full stomach - I can't relax or sleep otherwise and I know my body needs those calories to sleep and recover. Usually have some eggs and a shake, maybe some oats if I'm feeling peckish.
