... For tomorrow's ride, the McDouble may make little difference (although Caldwell Esselstyn says it constricts blood flow almost immediately) -- but most agree that it may keep you from riding in your 60's & 70's because your plumbing will be all clogged up...
And the same is true for high glycemic load foods (like pasta the night before a race).
It all depends on what your goal is...
About the label . . . Lance counted calories. I once read that someone asked him how he managed to keep track of how many calories he was eating. His reply, "I read the label!" I thought that was pretty funny. I also don't eat much of anything with a label.
