Oh all the learning is good. I firmly believe it'll gradually make sense to you and your body the more you try things and pay attention to how your body responds.
It sounds conflicting right now because it's new to go to that level of detail. Mark Sisson says there's no need to do that volume of daily intense exercise simply because it requires so much glucose replenished daily. Tom Venuto would say that much is fine, but he would recommend eating the carbs to support it. Either way, high volume exercise and moderate or higher intensity, will just plain burn both glucose and fat.
A little on exercise intensity and fat burning. Say of the 1500 calories you estimate for an average day, even at lower average intensity, say that's 60% fat burned and 40% glucose. That would be 600 calories of glucose burned, or 150 grams of carb. If you're not eating 150 g of carbs per day, then glucose has to come from somewhere, either from your storage glycogen, or from extra protein or fat that you eat, or from your muscles, OR your body just doesn't have it and dials down your burning equation. When you're doing glucose-requiring exercise it doesn't pull ALL the calories from your stored fat... the calories have to be available as glucose (carb).
