Calories in takeway food?

[Will]

The best way of doing it is splitting by food stuffs.

i.e. chicken and guess how much there is
oil
onions
bread
rice
etc...

An average indian meal for me consists of over 1000kcals but I always have naan (which I shouldn't but it's so tasty!).

Counting calories is not as important as counting macros i.e. fat/protein/carb. I do monitor those I must say, and it's been working for me, I've become leaner, stronger and healthier as a result. Our diets are too carb rich in this day and age. Our bodies were never designed to consume so much carbs most of which are now processed and refined. Our bodies were better suited to high protein/fat content with carbs coming from fruits, veg and fiberous sources. Unfortunately, carbs = cheap energy, cheap to manufacture and easier to preserve and mass produce. My carb intake is max 200g per day, but usually try and keep it to 150g per day.
