actually, it didn't fail. it proved that you react to carbs pretty much the way you would expect.
reading the egg beaters site, these are not carb free.
so we could guesstimate: wrap=15g, egg beaters=2g, mushrooms=1g, cheese=2g. Giving a total carb count of 20 grams. this would lead to a spike of between 70 and 130 mg/dl (if you allow a 30% margin for error).
your rise of 124 mg/dl fits right within that ballpark.
just FYI, i find i am much more sensitive to carbs in the morning and at lunchtime.
if you take away the wrap your breakfast would have had 5g of carbs. this should lead to a BGL rise of between 18 and 32 mg/dl. the law of small numbers works out in your favor if you leave out the high carb foods.
