No. Meals are only deductible if you have an overnight out of town stay. That is, you also have a hotel bill.

I see you are using TurboTax Business.  TurboTax Business is for Partnerships and Corporations. Sole proprietorships file schedule C as part of their personal tax return and do not need TT Business
