Is there a way to monitor memory usage of matlab real time while a function is running?

Since you didn't list your operating system, I can't give the specific steps, but you can use something akin to the "Task Manager" on Windows on Mac or Linux to watch the amount of resources consumed by MATLAB. I believe the Mac one is System Monitor and on Linux there are several, from "top" to prettier ones that may also be called "system monitor"

It can take a lot of work to figure out what the reported resource use signifies...
