The Guru Take
We are not accounting or tax professionals here. The answer should by "no", but please consultant a tax expert
The meals you have while driving for Uber cannot be taken as business deductions. It is a meal taken at the primary location of your work (and hence not taken while traveling for business) and you are not entertaining your customers or clients for business purposes.
We are not financial professionals here, so please take the above with a grain of salt and ask your tax preparer.
Here's more information about what kind of meals you can deduct: When can you write off meals on your taxes.
