Bizi,

Five fruits and veggies a day or ----- Roughly: 1 cup fruit and 1 ½ cups veggies.
But she can eat more veggies if she skips some of the grains.
1200 is very low. She should be eating more like 1500 or so depending on her height and age and how sedentary /active she is. Then she can eat more.
Here is a calculator.
