There is nothing actually incorrect about the phrase "lunch meal", and a rapid search will find a number of uses of the phrase. There is, however, no good reason for using it, as lunch is and has always been a meal. The phrase is redundant and not idiomatic. Use of this phrase might give the erroneous impression that the word "lunch" refers to a time of day, rather than a meal.
