Probably not: Sorry that you got sick. A lot of food gets crushed up and passed from the stomach to the intestines in an hour. You may have thrown up some of the chocolate bar, but not all of it. Any that remained inside of you was then digested and processed by the body.

Depends: Depends on how much of it you vomited and how much you absorbed less less the energy you body used to process the remaining chocolate.

No: If you vomited an hour later, that was long enough for the sugar in the chocolate to digest. As for the fat calories, the digestive process takes longer for the fat to digest and you might have a reduction in the number of calories absorbed, if you vomited it an hour later.
