Frying adds calories and fat to the item. It makes the body have to work harder trying to burn the additional fat calories. It also depends on what type of oil or lard the item is fried in. The healthiest of frying oils would be canola, sunflower, safflower and some vegetable oils. If you need to eat fried foods, hopefully not often, it is better that you eat them early.
Lunch is better than later in the day.
The body starts to slow down between the hours of 3-5 p.m. Eating the fried items mentioned you really should just have either a salad with lowfat dressing or vegetable. Because the coating of the fried item will be mostly made of bread,or flour,or a starch, that should be considered your carbohydrate for that meal. Soda is not your friend. Regular soda is high in calories and sugar, while some diet sodas have chemicals and contain extra salt for taste.
