In fact, extreme digital interaction, known as nomophobia, disturbs both cognitive functions and behavioral regulation. To illustrate, smartphone distraction, which is characterized as the attentional intrusion stemming from screen mediation, plays a major role in adjusting nutritional intake. However, the processes driving these relationships have yet to be investigated. This study aims to understand the possible effect of smartphone\u2010induced interference as a mechanism motivating the relationship between nomophobia and intuitive eating patterns among young citizens in Lebanon.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A cross\u2010sectional design was done, including 397 Lebanese people aged between 18 and 30 years.
