I've personally seen this happen with food and without food. If I've been on a lower calorie diet, my body will make up the difference by burning fat, in fact I will be losing weight. When this occurs I can be eating, even high carb meals, and the fat burning will still occur and contribute to increased bg levels. For me, it's not so much a lack of food, it's more a lack of calories that can cause this effect.
