“MeshiTero(飯テロ)” means making someone (who is trying to not to eat) hungry.
For example, showing something looks yummy in the the very late evening is definitely “MeshiTero(飯テロ)”, because everyone knows if we eat at that time, we’ll get fat!
This is a slang.
“Meshi(飯)” means food and “Tero(テロ)” is an abstraction for terrorism.
