# Log steps

If you have a [Premium subscription](/docs/en/subscribe-to-carb-manager-premium) and a fitness device, the easiest method to track your steps is to [sync Carb Manager to your fitness device](/docs/en/sync-a-fitness-device-or-app-with-carb-manager) so Carb Manager can automatically log your steps. Or complete the steps in this article to manually log steps in Carb Manager.

**Tip:** You can set a goal for the number of steps you want to take each day. For details, see [Set health goals for weight, activity, fasting, and more](/docs/en/set-health-goals-for-weight-activity-fasting-and-more).**Important:** If some of your steps for the day are part of active exercises, such as walking a dog uphill for 30 minutes, search for the specific exercise in our database and log your steps as an exercise instead of steps. For details, see [Log exercise](/docs/en/log-exercises).
