To determine Mike's fat intake, we first need to determine how many calories from fat he can consume. Since he is supposed to limit himself to less than 30% of his total calories from fat, we can calculate this as follows:

30% of 2000 calories = 0.30 x 2000 = 600 calories from fat

Now, we know that there are 9 calories in every gram of fat. So, we can divide 600 calories by 9 to determine how many grams of fat Mike can consume:

600 calories / 9 = 66.67 grams of fat

Rounded to the nearest whole number, Mike should consume 67 grams of fat per day. Therefore, the correct choice is B.
