    Oh my, this is an absolute mess.1.  Unless you are Density Bulking, you should not eat carbs on your off days.  So ditch that rice and ice cream on the off days.2.  Your ULC meals really are not that good.  I would stop eating the tuna and olive oil and replace it with bacon and eggs or 80/20 ground beef.  3.  Reduce meal frequency.  You must come from a bodybuilding background (like me), but on this diet you don't want to eat all the time.  Two or three large meals a day yields the best results typically.  Unless you are Density Bulking.4.  You need to eat a lot more fat.  Each meal should have a fat:protein ratio of at least 1 by grams.  Meaning a chicken breast and tomato is out of the question.5.  I highly reccomend to not consume any protein powder on off days6.  I didn't understand what time you trained, but the optimal time is 5 PM.  However since you stay up late I would shoot to for your workout to be over 5 hours before you go to bed.Here is a better plan for you:Off Day (Ultra-Low Carb)Waking:  Coffee with heavy cream or 14 g of coconut oilMeal 1 (~13:00) : Half a pound (227 g) of bacon, 5 eggsMeal 2:  One pound (454 g) of 80/20 ground beef, low carb vegetablesMeal 3:  Salmon filet, low carb vegetablesTraining Day:Waking:  Coffee with heavy cream or 14 g of coconut oilMeal 1 (~13:00) : Half a pound (227 g) of bacon, 5 eggsTrain at 7 (Have caffeine pre-workout)Post Workout - two scoops of protein powder, 30 g of dextrose, 5 g of leucine, more caffeineBackload (One hour after shake):  for the backload I always advise people to start off with a savory meal with some type of meat that isn't completely full of sugar (Burger and fries, Chicken and rice, pizza, steak and potatos).  Have a dessert (like ice cream) with this meal.  A hour or so later you dive into the baked goods (doughnuts are great and my favorite).  Avoid things like soft drinks and candy in large quanitites since  they are pure sugar.  I also like to have a protein shake with about 20 g of dextrose and 5 g leucine about a half hour before bed.

    Thank You,1. no carbs at all? I though it should be like eating just proteins+fats and about 6pm eat CBL meal like potatoes,meat,icecream,corn.. I have 2 non-training days in my training plan. So i should not eat carbs like 2 days and after that i should go at gym and lift heavy weights? its more than impossible.4. ill buy some coconut oil and walnuts and eat less olive oil.6. My training is about 5-6pm.

    ibobland is spot on with his advice. You should only be eating carbs on training days unless you are really trying to add some pounds (density bulking). On non training days, you want to limit it to 30 grams of carbs or less – so almost none.30 sneaks up pretty quickly from low carb options (some veggies, cottage cheese, etc). Pretty much anything that is "carby" is out of the question on off days.

    Olive oil is fine and walnuts are as well, but the people who get the best results get their fat from fatty cuts of meat and fish.  If you are concerned about health, olive oil and walnuts aren't that great due to the amount of polyunsaturated fats, which can be inflammatory.  If you can try to train later.  You should only be eating carbs within a 6 hour (at the most) window after your workout and the later this window is the better.

    training day seems good, but im still skeptical about that non-training day. Like i said, i have 2 days off consecutive. So more than 48hours without carbs. And after that i should train hard at gym without regeneration from food

    If you have consecutive off days you will have a small backload on your last off day.  I eat a couple slices of pizza personally for this.  I think you need to buy the book if you are skeptical of the diet.  Kiefer goes pretty in depth with the science and theory behind the diet.

    It's fine, just not as good as something more fatty like bacon and eggs or 80/20 beef.
