Business meals expenses

If I buy food in regular stores while on a business travel, can I deduct these as business expense OR only meals purchased in restaurants count toward business expense? 

Would appreciate help with understanding this.

No, meals bought from stores would also count. But only things you bought to eat during your business travels. Things you bought for personal reasons would not count.
