^^^ this and this. We need to see how much you're eating, not just what you're eating. At a glance, your diet is pretty poor if i'm being honest. You will likely never get into respectable single digit bodyfat with that.
PS - at 4% bodyfat, you'll be lucky if you can walk, forget about fighting MMA, lmao!

^^^ Just reread my post and I sound like a dick. I didn't mean to. It just gets frustrating when I see multiple posts/day like this... unrealistic goals with poor or no planning, no offense.
Do pay alot of attention to the list Pops posted.

my bodyfat gets tested once a month at the gym with Anthropometry- Skinfold Measurements not the best way but gets pretty close to the correct number when below 20% bodyfat...
8 am ------800 Kkal, 58g carbs, 91g protein, 25g fat
10:30 am -1140Kkal, 150g carbs, 26g protein, 43g fat
12 am workout
1 pm------- 900Kkal, 160g carbs, 42g protein, 10g fat
2 pm--------620Kkal, 41g carbs, 81g protein, 13g fat
4 pm--------800Kkal, 58g carbs, 91g protein, 0g fat
5 pm workout
6 pm--------900Kkal, 160g carbs, 42g protein, 10g fat
7 pm-------1020Kkal, 85g carbs, 86g protein, 36g fat
9 pm--------550Kkal, 20g carbs, 47g protein, 8g fat.
10 pm sleep...
total --------6730Kkal, 732g carbs, 506g protein, 145g fat.
this has been my diet for almost 3 weeks, there are slight changes but always very similar nutritional values...
I've gained strenght and some increase in muscular size but my weight hasn't changed much.. if anything I'm loosing weight.
I thought I was supposed to gain weight when I'm, eating almost 7000 calories a day...
so what should I change in my diet to get more muscle mass while on my cycle and the weeks after my cycle ends ?

LOL!!
you got me stumped brother!
I have no idea on how your macros should breakdown for a " lean bulking diet ". Maybe its your training. I would assume that if youre consuming 7k cals/day with 700 carbs/day and not gaining any weight you must be doing 3 hours of cardio/day. Are you lifting heavy?
Besides, if youre losing weight its probably bf; which is good. Or do you want to see the numbers on the scale go up? If you feel great and look even better who cares what the scale says???? Especially at 10%bf...
Just a thought....

I do kettlebells with very heavy bells, it's a combination of strength training and cardio and I do about 3 hours a day
loosing bodyfat is a bonus but I was hoping to gain more muscle mass while on sustanon cycle...
I'm just on my 3rd week of the cycle so it might change for the better....
I'm not aiming to cut bodyfat while on the cycle, I can do that after my cycle ends.. now I'm just aiming for more mass and more weight.. but I still don't want to add much more bodyfat.. I'm staying under 10% bf

most of the food has nutritional values printed on the packaging, for the meat and veggies I just googled the values..
then I just calculated the amount based on the weight of the food I eat..
the steaks I eat 2x day are a bit over a pound each.. I eat a lot of eggwhites, cod liver oil, and the mass gainer and liquid amino are almost half of the calories...
