As a ride share driver can I deduct meals while on the road?

[Marketstar]

You can deduct 50% of unreimbursed meal expenses if you must stop for substantial sleep or rest to properly perform your duties while traveling away from home on business or the meal is business-related entertainment.

Otherwise meals for local travel are not deductible
