I'm being "Did you use Federal per diem for meals, entertainment, or lodging?" on my PA State section of my tax return and have no idea what this means.

Per diem is an allowance paid to employees for lodging, meals, and incidental expenses incurred when travelling. This allowance is in lieu of paying their actual travel expenses.
