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.
Protein has the highest thermic effect of food (TEF), which is the amount of calories it takes your body to process and utilize a nutrient. At 20-35 percent, protein has the highest TEF. This means that your body actually uses 20-35 percent of the energy from protein consumed just to digest and absorb it!
