529 qualified expenses - deducting food expenses from a school that does not offer board

My college student is at a school that does not offer a meal plan but offers housing/dorm. He does reside in their dorms. The school offers housing but no meal plans. So there is no meal plan cost to compare the expenses to.

 

Can I still deduct the meals that he purchases during the school year while living in the dorms? Is there a max amount?
