A slight correction: Before a meal.

Cibum is singular. 'Before meals' would be: Ante cibos.

if it is a medical abbreviation it stands for "ante cenam" (before dinner) or "ante cibos" (before a meal).
but it is more common to use it to refer to a year before Christ was born, so: a.C. = ante Christum (natum) which means "before Christ (was born)"..
in Italy we still use the same two letters and they mean "avanti Cristo", the same as your b.C., before Christ
