Your day's results shows a low of 89, a high of 109, and an average of  
95.  That may be higher than you'd like, but it doesn't seem alarming to  
me.  The optimal range varies depending on who you are (and who you ask),  
but you're within the "90 to 110" range even after meals, which doesn't  
seem bad.  (Note that if you were consistently lower in the past and this  
is a new higher range, that might be more of an issue.)

Protein and fat can elevate blood sugar too.  See, for example,

and

My personal philosophy is if you are truly hungry, you should eat.  If  
you're just fasting because you want to, that's one thing, but constant  
hunger just for the sake of a schedule doesn't sound like much fun to me.
