# Log meals from a meal plan

If you’re a [Premium member](/docs/en/subscribe-to-carb-manager-premium) and you [started a meal plan](/docs/start-a-meal-plan), planned meals appear in the daily log for the scheduled meal or snack. Complete the steps in this article to log planned meals.

**Tip:** Premium members can [create custom meal plans](/docs/en/create-custom-meal-plans-1), use a [meal plan curated by Carb Manager’s chefs](/docs/en/find-foods-recipes-and-meals), or have Carb Manager [generate a meal plan](/docs/en/generate-meal-plans).

1. [Start a meal plan](/docs/en/start-a-meal-plan) if you haven’t already done so. All scheduled meals appear in the daily log.
2. To log a planned meal, do one of the following steps in the [Embedded object](https://cdn.document360.io/39f753db-7167-486f-a297-e9dee7536f7d/Images/Documentation/home.svg) **Daily Log**.
  - Go to the planned meal that you want to log and select **Add to Log**.
  - If you consumed something that was different from what you planned, select the ![](https://cdn.document360.io/39f753db-7167-486f-a297-e9dee7536f7d/Images/Documentation/expander.svg) **Expander** on the right side of a planned item, then choose **Remove** to remove the planned item. Next, to replace the removed item, select ![](https://cdn.document360.io/39f753db-7167-486f-a297-e9dee7536f7d/Images/Documentation/add.svg) **Add Item** > [Embedded object](https://cdn.document360.io/39f753db-7167-486f-a297-e9dee7536f7d/Images/Documentation/add-food-btn.svg) **Add Food**, and select a food that you consumed.
3. Optional: If you are [fasting](/docs/en/working-with-fasting) and try to log a meal during a fasting window, select **Continue Logging & Keep Fasting** or **Log food & break my fast now**.**Tip:** To change the meal's timestamp to a time within your eating window, select **Cancel** to return to the meal's detail screen, select **Show Advanced**, and select a different **Date** or **Time**. Then, select **Add** to log the meal.

The meal item and its nutrition information appear in the daily log.
