          You would need to write a script to check the calender for each day to find out if theres any avaliable slots. Doing it in a workflow wouldn't make for the best user experience - also since you need to remove the date from the picker (when creating the item) you need to modify the Newform.aspx page anyway.



          Personally I would use client side javascript for it on the NewForm.aspx and EditForm.aspx pages to guide the user up front before they are able to submit an item.
