If you can keep your daily food cost to under $4.36 (standard meal deduction for breakfast, lunch, and one snack) then it would def. be worth it to provide the meals. Also, with the standard meal deduction as long as you provide SOMETHING you can claim the meal or snack. So if you just serve a couple crackers between breakfast and lunch you can deduct an extra $.71 per day.


If you don't mind sharing, how much do you make per day? Is it just one long day or are those 10-12 hours split up into several days? The reason I ask is because I'm curious how much of your income you can claim just on food.
