Deductions & credits

Your meals are a personal expense and aren't deductible. 

Only business-related meals (such as taking a client out for lunch), or meals incurred as part of business travel (overnight or more than 100 miles from home) are deductible.  

Also, job-related expenses such as described above are not deductible for employees who receive a W-2 except for in a few states.
