It's easy to say "you're not eating enough, especially if you're exercising" but I gain weight instantly if I eat any more than that, even with a workout regiment, even eating healthy foods.
And no, it wasn't enough -- I typically got light headed rather quickly if I didn't take a break between each exercise.

At 5'10" and 240, I forget how old you are so I guessed between 25 and 30, your basal metabolic rate is about 2200 calories per day. If you eat less than that you will lose weight; if you eat more, you will gain weight. Exercise will burn calories in addition to that. Saying that you will gain weight if you eat more than 1500/day can't be right unless you are carrying around in your body a localized violation of the laws of thermodynamics.
I suspect that you are significantly underestimating your calorie intake.
