Hello and excellent question.  I am going to attach a link about meals.  As a part of cares act of 2022 the meals from restaurants were 100% deductible.  This may change and revert back in 2022 to 50%.  Please note the link related to meals accounts for prior to cares act.  In addition,  if the meal(s) qualify for Schedule E expense you will enter the full amount of cost/receipt.  For example, if a joint meal at a restaurant is $50 then the $50 will be entered.  I hope this answered your question and the below link adds the extra explanation you were looking for.
