Deductions & credits
Meals are not deductible as a medical expense deduction, even when
traveling.
From IRS Publication 502: "You can include in medical expenses the cost of meals at a hospital or similar institution if a principal reason for being there is to get medical care." There is no additional provision to deduct meals when traveling for medical care outside of a hospital.
