1800 cal is extremely low if your goal is to build muscle

Don't know tour height/weight, TDEE, but 1800 sounds low to build on..

If you really want to build some muscle, 1800 calories is too low. With that calorie intake, you will never reach your goal. Rather start with 2200 calories and see it it works for you. You should eat a lot of protein. You can find them in red meat, eggs, as well as some food supplements and protein shakes. I suggest you do a little research on the internet about creating the best diet plan for you. At this moment we don't know anything about your age, weight, height, etc. Those parameters are crucial for creating a good diet plan.
