    Unfortunately, you can not count buying lunch between jobs as a business expense.  A business expense is a cost you incur for the sole purpose of earning business income. In your case, it is considered a personal expense and can not be deducted.

     

    For more information please see the Canada Revenue Agency(CRA) link for Business expenses.
