total absorbation

was wondering if you know how much calories the body can absorb at a serving? or how much you should be around with every meal

depends on what the cals are coming from, fat, protein and carbs. Also the metabolism of the person completely depends, how anabolic they are, age, what time of day it is. It is impossible to answer that question and there is no way to really tell IMO.

if i calculate my meals to about 500calories, 100 of that protein, would it be a sain assumption that i can absorbe that?

yes, i am a hard gainer and i eat around 6000 clean cals a day split into abut 750-800 a piece... i guess for me i just eat as much clean food as i possibly can and it seems to be working i am up 10 lbs in two weeks of my fina/prop cycle at 40 and 75 respectivly

Here is a guide to some assorted calculators. They may be of help but often universal calculators error to the conservative side.
