so im working out same as always, to the point where i sometimes feel sore the next day...the problem being in trying to lose fat, my question is...if im eating less food and not enough protein that i should be getting, will that negatively affect my muscle recovery? slow it down or eliminate it entirely?

you cant gain muscle and lose fat at the same time
You'll still get some muscle repair and at a cellular level that's not different to building muscle. But nothing like when bulking where you've got lots of nutrition floating around in you for most of the day, you only have small windows for muscle building when cutting.
Keep on getting a good PWO meal, and you should probably decrease your weight lifting volume. I'd do 3 compound exercises each session plus a few sets of abs or rotary cuff, so you get through the entire body in 2 sessions.

Yes you can....however, I would agree with someone saying it is very difficult to gain both a significant amount of muscle and a significant amount of fat - at the same time.
i just wanted to make sure that after i lift and im sore the next day it wont heal improperly or not at all

yea i was a little unspecific lol

I don't think there's any point in exercising so hard you get sore while cutting though, maybe it's even counterproductive.
so lift lighter and a little less, and do a lot of cardio?
I wouldn't lift lighter, your muscles are that size to handle the loads you're lifting, you want them to remain that way. Just reduce the volume. 3-4 good compound exercises, focusing on different parts, each session is plenty to keep off atrophy and retain strength, and the time is much better spent doing cardio that burns off lots of calories.
