Good Start To Get Toned?

andreleonpadilla25

I work a 8 hour shift at work 5 days a week. I burn 2467 calories during each shift. My breakfast is fruit and water, lunch is protein, and dinner is fruit and water. I am doing the following exercise each morning and night…

1 Minute Planks 5 Reps and 1 Minute Rest Between Each Rep
20 Pushups 2 Sets 1 minute rest between each Set

My Weight is currently 185lbs and I am
5.9 feet tall. My BMI is 27.3.

With this plan and workout, can I get toned abs and if yes how many months does it
take to see results with
consistency?

A) you don’t burn 2467 cals during your shift

at that weight you’re a lot more than a 27 BMI.

Your abs will be a product of developed abs due to resistance training then losing enough fat to expose the abs. The timeframe will be dependent on many factors however it’s safe to say it won’t be any time soon.

Assuming that 5.9 feet means 5 feet, 9 inches, OP's BMI is 27.3 . Go put the numbers in a BMI calculator.

Also don't understand how you can say definitively OP doesn't burn 2467 in an eight-hour shift when you don't know whether OP's job is carpentry or sitting in a chair counting thumb tacks. 2467 kcal in eight hours isn't that much if you have a physically demanding job, especially if that calorie count includes the base calories for normal body processes. It's only a little over 300 calories an hour. For someone who weighs 185 lbs, that would be a less than 4 MET activity. A product picker in a sales fulfillment warehouse is a common 4 MET-ish job.

OP, it doesn't sound like you're eating enough (although, without knowing the quantities, there's no way to be sure, so eventually you're going to be able to see any abs you have. However, if you're having a large daily deficit, you'll like be losing muscle along with fat, and some of that muscle may be ab muscle. Also, only eating protein once a day is not optimal for building or maintaining protein.

If your abs don't look as good as you want when you can see them, you're going to have to increase the volume (reps, resistance) for your exercises that engage your abs. Sounds like you don't have access to weights, but you can try planking for longer, one-arm planks, putting a small child on your back when you plank ...

How many calories are you consuming? That seems like a woefully inadequate amount of calories. How many grams of protein are you consuming for lunch? Unless quite a lot, seems low in protein. And, unless your protein is high fat, awfully low in fat as well. (In which case you're probably not getting enough protein from that one meal.)

Does not seem sustainable to me.
