I have a BMR of 2419.15, so does that mean if I ate 1500 calories a day I'd naturally burn around 919 calories?

    no. If you eat below your BMR your body will end up with metabolic and hormonal damage. Calculate your TDEE and eat at a reasonable deficit from that number.

    If your BMR is 2400, I am guessing you are pretty big, so it is okay to eat 1500 calories. You will lose weight pretty fast. Once you get down to a lower weight though, you should eat at least BMR to prevent unbearable hunger and your body to go in starvation mode.

    I suspect that that is your TDEE, not BMR. And if so, 2400-20%=1920. So that's where you should start. Having said that, you need to do your own homework. Look up TDEE and BMR learn what they are and how to calculate them. Lots of good info here, use the search button, it is your friend.
