As an Uber or Lyft driver, can I deduct my lunch I get every day?

My host Uber city is San Francisco, CA. I do not live in San Francisco, I live 23 miles away.  I don't drive in my Residencial city unless dropping off then it's back to San Francisco.

 

Can I deduct my lunch meals?

If yes, where?

No, you cannot deduct your lunch.  You would be eating lunch no matter where you worked.  Lunch is not a business expense.
