It doesn’t matter. Read publication 463. Chapter 1 discusses travel expenses. Travel expenses are when you travel away from your main work area long enough that an overnight stay is required or at least reasonable for you to do your work. Meals and lodging are deductible when you are traveling away from your main work area.
Chapter 4 discusses transportation. Transportation is local transportation back-and-forth from work within your local work area. Even if your local work area is very large, if you don’t end up staying overnight, your meals are not deductible work expenses.
