The water intake sound about right from what you've said. If you use gravy or mayo make sure you add those calories for accuracy sake. Try to eat dinner as little earlier so there is more time between dinner and bed an hour isn't much time. Salt (sodium) will only make a difference as far as your body retaining water. Try to moniter this closely depending on what your goals are. Good luck

But to me this is a big nono... Although the diet seems pretty stable from my point of view, this dinner before bed is a big problem. Most times your final meal should be a few hours before bed so that you can work off the excess fat content of the meal....correct me if I am wrong, but that's what I've learned in the past.
