Weight and Diet Questions

After finding this site it is obvious why i am not. I am about 6'1" and weigh about 180lbs. My average calorie intake is way to low at around 2000 a day. After reading from this site I have gone out and bought some replacement meal shakes and stakes up on healthy foods to start my "new training session." I have also completed the fitness profile and will be doing the size and mass exercises. My questions are: Is there a site where i can find out what an average/above average training schedule should be(for example How many reps at how much weight i should be at.) After I complete this weight gaining/mass building reigm, what would be a good way to tone down while keeping most of the muscle i have gained.(calorie deficit?) Does anyone know if products such as ab-solved or lipoderm-ultra work when slimming down. THey are said to help with spot reduction.
