âPremiseâ comes from two Latin words, meaning to put before. The premise is the foundation of your story-that single core statement, says James N. Frey, âof what happens to the characters as a result of the actions of a story.â.
The body of a healthy lean man is composed of roughly 62 percent water, 16 percent fat, 16 percent protein, 6 percent minerals, and less than 1 percent carbohydrate, along with very small amounts of vitamins and other miscellaneous substances.
Fat intake has a bigger impact on calorie counting than other nutrients. One gram of fat has 9 calories, compared with only 4 calories per gram in carbohydrates and proteins. For healthy adult men and women, 20 to 35 percent of total daily calories should be from fat. The best way to stay on track when you're counting calories or fat is by keeping a daily journal.
