Unfortunately, you can only deduct 50% of your meals when traveling on business even if your client reimbursed you on a per-diem and included the amount on your 1099-MISC.
The only way not to have a tax "hit" on your meal expenses is when you are reimbursed on an accountable plan (where the employer or client reimburses you the exact amount of your meals on presentation of supporting documents).
