Meals are only available as a travel expense. The rule reads as indicated below. If you meet this qualification, then yes, the meal is deductible.

Business meals are deductible but only at 50% of the actual cost. Meal expenses are deductible if your business trip is overnight or long enough that you need to stop for substantial sleep or rest to properly perform your duties.
