"Warrior Diet" Critique

Not exactly the warrior diet, but this is my version to suit my work schedule...I'd appreciate some input.

11:00am - wake up

12:30pm -25mg yohimbe HCL... I kinda follow ori's fat loss protocol for pre and post...50g whey pre (lift at 1), fast for 1 hour post then follow with another 50g whey protein + 1tbsp fish oil

4:00pm to 3:00am - I work as a server at a bar. I don't eat anything..maybe some berries.

3:30AM - salad, about a pound of flat iron steak fried in EVOO or about a pound of boiled drumsticks and leg quarters. I just try to get around 100-125g protein here.

macros are usually around 225p,40c,90f

5"8 150lbs
-coming back from injuries so my numbers are down... bench 225, squat 275, DL 315
-gain bf easily, very carb sensitive, yes 150lbs is light, yes I do want to lose more bf from here, no I don't want to put on more mass first, my sports require me to be light and quick.
-I work 4 days a week 4pm-3am, sun, mon, thurs, sat
-I lift thurs, sat, mon, before work
-I play basketball wed and friday or cardio/sprints
-I "skipload" once a week (every tuesday) I hit about 1000g carbs, 150g fat, trace protein.

I've been running this for about 3 weeks and the fat is melting off and my numbers in the gym are going up, but this might be because I'm starting over and using much lighter weights and getting back what I've lost.
I get pretty hungry at times at work since I train before and only have whey holding me over for 11 hours, but I can handle it...my biggest concern is this being too "catabolic"

Thanks in advance

id add more carbs in if it were me. a guy your size doesn't need 225g of protein a day. the total cals is about right for now.

on a side note it really doesnt make a difference about meal timing or frequency as long as you are consistent with what you start. adjusting cals and macros from that base line is what matters.

I'll add more carbs...are fruits ok or should it be starches since fruits replenish liver glycogen rather than muscle glycogen? Also, from past experience, 175g or 225g protein makes a big difference for me.
