Abstract: This study aims to examine the relationship between individuals' social media use and their intuitive eating behaviors and dietary intake. A cross-sectional, observational study was conducted with 435 adult participants, aged 30.9 ± 10.4 years, through online and face-to-face surveys. Data were collected using the Intuitive Eating Scale-2, Social Media Usage Scale, a socio-demographic form, and a one-day food intake record. Data analysis was performed using the nutrition information system software (BEBIS) and SPSS, with significance levels set at p < 0.05. Among participants, 56.3% used social media during meals, and 46.9% reported snacking while watching social media. There was a weak positive correlation between Social Media Usage Scale scores and Intuitive Eating Scale-2 'Unconditional Permission to Eat' scores (r = 0.129; p < 0.01) and a weak negative correlation between 'Eating for Physical Rather than Emotional Reasons' scores (r = −0.252; p < 0.001). These results indicate that social media use was modestly associated with intuitive eating behaviors and food intake; however, due to the cross-sectional design, the results should be interpreted cautiously.
