The amounts that a 14 year old should be getting are the same as adults. 11.5g per 1,000 calories consumed. That's about 16- 22g per day depending on how many calories she consumes. It's alot! And, it's hard to find good foods with a high fiber content too.

Hope that helps

1. Enough so she's regular
2. Source isn't all that important.
