Can i include money i spend on food (wawa) in my tax return

[max14632]

I work for a independent contractor and have recieved my 1099-misc form. I spend 20$ every day for 5 month on wawa food and my question is can i include that in my taxes? I do not have the receipts. I spend a lot of money on food and that was during the hours i worked, i really hope there is a way to include this money in my taxes

Meals and lodging can be deducted only when away from home overnight for business.

If you go to job and return home each night, then the meals are not deductible.
