You do know everyone is different - different weights, body types, metabolism, diets(vegan, gluten-free, high carb, etc), cultural background, and workout goals.
So asking a very general question is gonna get you a lot of different answers. Just log in your food for the day and see if what you eat is under or over 1800 calories -Really Simple right!!! And you can eventually figure it out.
I'm Asian so I eat Asian food, don't know much about other foods. But here's a meal plan for ya! And yes I eat rice! Asian's eat a lot of rice
1. Fried Rice (1 Cup)
Why fried rice is high in calories is because the white rice used does not have that much fiber or protein which is filling and fulfilling. And on top it there is the oily sauce which supposedly adds the flavour.
Calories Count: Well, a cup or bowl of fried rice will cost you and your health dear by a whopping 1800 calories!
How healthy it is: Very unhealthy because the entire composition is mostly white starchy carbohydrates with no fiber, and calories more than 1800. The rice is void of nutrition. The better option is to eat boiled or steamed rice, not fried rice.
2. Egg Rolls
Yes, yes the long and sumptuous egg rolls from the very touch give one the impression of the amount of oil that has gone into its making. No amount of shredded cabbage inside can overcome the golden oil like texture that you see outside.
Calories Count: You will be shocked to find out that one egg roll delivers 200 calories, in addition to the cals that come in the sweet and syrupy dipping sauce.
How healthy it is: It is very unhealthy due to its deep fried routine, so baking the egg rolls instead could be a healthier option. Egg Rolls are a calorie catastrophe especially if you consume more than one egg roll.
3. Sweet And Sour Chicken
This Chinese meal gets you more than 50gm of sugar alone per serving. And then there is the battered and fried chicken which steeps the calorie count to tears.
Calories Count: From 800 to 1800 depending on the size of the chicken ball! And the sugariness of the gravy is extra.
How healthy it is: What makes this dish unhealthy is the overly sweetened sauce adding to the unhealthy batter around the chicken.
4. Pan-Fried Pork Dumplings
Dumplings are not the problem area in this Chinese dish, it is the filling which plays the devil. Whenever you are choosing a pork dumpling, you are giving in to a temptation that will reflect in your cholesterol and health.
Calories Count: Each pork dumpling has around 100 calories. Now you are not going to stop short at eating only 1 dumpling. Which means the more you eat pork dumplings, say 6 of them, you have taken 600 calories + sauce calories extra…Aw!
How healthy it is: Given the fact that this particular Oriental snack is fried, can you guess the dollops of oil that will go into the making. The oil stuck onto your fingers is enough proof to the unhealthy statement of Pan-fried Pork Dumplings.
Steamed veggie dumplings are any day a better and healthier option to eating pan-fried texture coated Chinese fare.
5. General Tso’s Chicken
Your heart, and possibly mine might crave for deep fried food stuff. But never forget the pitfalls that come with it too. For example – General Tso’s Chicken which is fried to the hilt. As for coatings, there are oily and sugary sauces to add on to the damage.
Calories Count: 1600 calories per order (on an average) and 60gm of sugar.
How healthy it is: Since there are no veggies in this recipe, the calorie load will never get lightened. Besides being loaded with calories, it is breaded, deep-fried and cooked in a heavy sauce similar to sweet and sour chicken. The calorie it contains takes up more than half of your day’s allowance of heart-clogging fat.
So this is 1800 calories! don't know what yours is but hope you figure out your 1800 calories!

It's a lot more educational if you do the research/work yourself. Google "1800 calorie diets" or "1800 calorie meal plans" and you will come up with a ton of ideas.0
