You should be eating 1gram per pound of body weight to gain significant muscle. Some high protein foods are- Protein Shakes/Bars (Muscle Milk, like the other poster mentioned, is great!) Tuna Chicken Eggs Nuts Any other meat At 14 why would you be so concerned about getting muscles but lol You need to intake LOTS AND LOTS of PROTEIN and stay far far far away from fatty foods and junk food try eating lots of lean cuts of meat and protein shakes for breakfast in the morning is a good idea too and a healthy diet, fruits, vegetables the whole deal and along with weight lifting, include lots of cardio into your workout to lose overall body fat so you'll be able to see the cuts in your muscles make sure to get a good nights sleep to allow your muscles to rest and grow. Keep pumping that iron and good luck Mr. Muscle Man
