Malabsorption Question: How much do we actually take in?

I have a question about malabsorption. I don't understand it and so I don't normally consider it when figuring out my protein, carb, fat intake. However, I have a feeling I'm just not eating enough (I'm awake right now - middle of the night - because I'm physically hungry) I've increased my exercise A LOT over the past few weeks and I'm concerned that I'm not getting enough food in. I'm trying to eat all my meals and my protein but I have a feeling something is not right. Does anyone take malabsorption into account when they are figuring their food and if so, how? For example, if a food has, for example, say 20 grams of protein, 3 grams of carbs and 1 gram of fat, how much do we take in of that? Does the malaborpstion get less over time? I'm almost 6 mos. out.
