does 1800 Cal a day sound about right for someone 15 years old with 5 ' 7

No, it seems like a very small amount. You are growing take advantage of eating all the calories you can.

How much do you weigh? What are your goals?

132lbs. than 1800 would be fine if you are cutting but if your trying to gain muscle I'd increase calories another 300-500.

i need to gain, so i was planning to aim for 1900/day.

1900 is roughly your maintenance meaning if you consume that many calories a day you will not gain or lose weight (according to most caloric formulas). I would still increase calories into the 2200-2500 range and eat all clean foods. You should really be eating a lot at that age you are growing, take advantage of it.
