How do I enter as a deduction Per Diem that is included in income on my 1099?

I understand that per diem is not taxable (when under Federal guideline amounts).  But the 1099 that I received has that amount included as income.  On my tax return, how do I label it?  It cannot be meals, since that the amount entered under meals would be reduced to 50%.  Please help.
