SparkTeens is here to offer you so much information so you can learn! I'm afraid that you're not taking advantage of how much this website has to offer-- in fact, I KNOW that you're not.
First off, 1800 calories is the amount of calories you're supposed to eat if you want to lose weight and it's the BARE MINIMUM number of calories that we, as growing teens, need to be eating every day. You are expressing anorexic qualities and I'm wondering if you have seen a councilor? Does anyone know that you are only eating 1000 calories? That's even less than the bare minimum for adults! This isn't safe at all.
There are 3500 calories in a pound. A McDonalds hamburger kids meal has 480 calories and an M&Ms McFlurry has 620 calories. That's a total of 1100 calories (easily found on the McDonalds website). So, if you need to be eating approx a 2,000-calorie diet to MAINTAIN, then you will definitely not gain.
However, if you are going to go from a 1,000-calorie diet to a 2,000-calorie diet overnight, then you WILL gain some weight because your body is STARVING and it's going to hold on to everything you offer it. But, once your body gets used to the calories that it should have been eating all along, you will level off again and lose the few excess pounds that you may have gained in the process of making your body well.
Gaining weight should not be your worst fear. There are worse things in life.
