HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Blood sugar levels are affected mainly by carbohydrates and the other food groups such as proteins and fat play a minor or no role in stimulating blood glucose levels.
Meat, egg and diary are protein and fat and would not affect blood sugars. Since you did not use any of these, your meal would have been mainly carbohydrates unless plant proteins were used.
Because your meals would have been carbohydrates, it would cause slightly higher readings.
I hope this helps
