This is called the per diem deduction. If you are itemizing deductions you can claim 70% of $51 (or $52 perhaps) per day for each day that you are away from home. We have discussed this before, use the search feature.
Also anything that you have to buy to do your job that you are not reimbursed for is deductible.

The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say.
