Did you actually keep the "actual food expenses" or did you take the standard meal deduction for your state?

If you didn't then I believe you will have to look at the standard meal deduction and that will give you your deduction. When you kept attendance you should have marked what meals you fed the children each day and it will add up how many of each meal you served (minus your own children if you included them) and then it will multiply the total number of meals times the irs reimbursement rate and at the bottem should be the total food deduction.
