So I'm trying to cut and I found a workout plan with lifting. You lift everyday. Each day a different body part. Should I keep my cardio to every other day? Or can I still do it everyday? If I can't do my cardio everyday then should I lower my calorie intake. I'm taking in about 1700 because I'm fairly active and do cardio everyday?! Thank you

The biggest aspect in cutting is a proper diet.
Your workout regimine is pointless if you don't have a proper diet and I'm not too sure about your stats but I would definitely say 1700 cal/day is too low.
Head over to the nutrition forum, read the calorie/macro determining sticky, figure out your #'s and needs, than eat at a 10% deficit (the 10% reduction in calories coming from your carb intake) and that'll be plenty to have a successful cut, regardless of your workout regimine�USMC (2009-2013) �

It's one of those things you'll just have to try and see how it works out. 1,700 calories doesn't sound too low to me... give it a shot for a three week period to see how you feel and also how much weight you lose per week. If you're losing more than 2 lbs per week and it's causing you to lose strength on your lifts, you should either increase intake or cut down on the cardio (or a combination of the two).
