    I have heard that you should have no more than 30 grams of fat per day,
    and that haveing NO fat is bad for you.

    30 grams is about right.

    Most nutritionists say limit calories from fat to 15-20% of all the
    calories you eat.

    If you're on a 1500 calorie/day diet, then that works out to between
    225 and 300 calories.  30 grams of fat is 270 calories, so that's in
    the ballpark.

    I like to keep my fat intake between 10-15 grams/day.  I 
    am trying to lose fat while gain muscle, so I only cheat
    once a week from my "diet"
