I always thought fat burning just came down to calories... Burn more than you consume and that's it. Apparently not.
Is it not possible to get very lean and rid of belly fat when you're around ~14% BF if you don't eat CLEAN, even if you do full body weight training, lots of basketball, interval training (sprint, etc..)????

Youre original question was CAN YOU BUILD MUSCLE WHILE BURNING FAT, WHAT KIND OF CALORIES YOU CONSUME WILL BE EXTREMELY IMPORTANT IF THIS IS THE GOAL. If you just want to burn fat and muscle tissue, get lighter on the scale, then you can eat donuts all day as long as youre burning more than you take in.

same thing, if you just want to lose WEIGHT, which is going to be fat and likely some muscle tissue if your diet is trash, then just burn more than you take in. That is NOT the same question you asked in your other thread, burning fat and building muscle simultaneously is a lot different than just burning calories.

There is no such thing as spot reduction. How your body puts on and sheds fat is not up to you. However, if you want to lower your bf% overall, which will bring belly fat down, then you need to eat enough protein, lift weights to build muscle, and, if you want, do some low intensity cardio.
Interval training is not a magic bullet for fat burning, or anything else for that matter. ESPECIALLY if you're also trying to get stronger, you're much better off incline walking for an hour than doing suicides. And if you're playing a lot of basketball, you probably don't need any extra cardio at all.
