From what I understood, your body needs about 10 calories per lb of weight just to function on a normal basis. Let's say I'm 260 so 2600 calories needed per day. Wouldn't I always be burning more calories than is necessary if I'm on a 1500 calorie/day diet? At least until I reached 150lbs?

In theory yes, but at some point your body will go into starvation mode and your metabolism will slow.
I went 8 days eating under 1200 calories and didn't lose an ounce. Should have lost at least 4 pounds based on my weight, but my metabolism slowed and forced a plateau.
That is why some suggest having a cheat day to confuse your metabolism so it won't go into potato famine mode.
I don't purposely do this. I just eat regularly a few times a month when I am out with friends or family.
If I did this too many times, I think I might fall off the diet.
