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.
The percentage of body weight that is water therefore varies inversely with body fat. In the average lean adult male around 60% of the body weight is water. The remaining body weight consists of 16-18% fat with 22-24% protein, carbohydrate and other solids.
