Incorrect. You DON'T HAVE TO PUT ON FAT. All you need is an energy source, and carbohydrates are it. The ONLY reason why excess fat is stored is because it hasn't been used up as energy.
You still do need a minimal intake of fat in your diet though, and you should get that as part of your meals.
60 grams of fat is around the MAXIMUM you should be consuming, a day that is.
