Self employed

Hi Eflint26

Based upon your information, you appear to be an independent food blogger.  If this is a legitimate business, then it would constitute as a business expense subject to IRS provisions for claiming it as a business expense.  IRS has specific provisions in determining meal expenses as they relate for a business or hobby.  I would research Pub. 463 to determine your eligibility for deducting these meals.
