    What's the amount of deficit you are attempting?

    And what are the workouts while doing it?

    5 times a week in the gym . 1700 C per day

    Walking on a treadmill 5 x weekly at gym? Elliptical, swimming, lifting, aerobics classes, spin class?
    There's a lot that can be done in a gym, depending on what your gym may have in it.

    1700 C a day deficit is rather extreme, unless you are burning around 5000 calories with very active job and working out hours at the gym.

    Try 40:30:30 for C:P:F.
    That should fit the info given.
