Is it a 100% meal deduction when I am a long-distance tour guide eating meals with clients everyday for the length of a traveling tour?

I am a motorcycle tour guide and spend weeks at a time on the road with clients. I also spend time traveling to the start of tours from my home.

You can only deduct 50% of your meal expenses as a travel expense when you are alone.

Meals taken with clients can be deducted as entertainment expenses, also at the rate of 50%.
