Pedometer steps vs iPhone steps

I was wondering if there was a way I can enter the steps from the pedometer I wear as opposed to the steps being counted on my iPhone. I don't always carry my phone around so it doesn't count steps I've taken. For example, today the iPhone recorded just over 3000 steps, but the pedometer I wore today counted 10 600 steps. Is there a way I can manually enter these steps. The pedometer I use is Steps Count and I don't see a way I can sync this device with this app. Any advice would be appreciated.

    You can manually add the steps to you iPhone. Go into the health app then click on steps and look for add data point.

    Thanks. I did it. Now it's not syncing yesterday's new steps into MFP. Any ideas?
