I have a few question.

This is the first time I have used the crafting simulator so I am sure I have pooped the bed at some point. So any advice you can give me would be great.

First of all you aught to have more CP, much more. It is comfortably doable without, but this relies on luck with triggering the first 2 touches, and having enough ToT procs. Secondly, you really should be using Ingenuity/II for Byregot's Blessing, it far outclasses Innovation.

I did accidentally try a main craft without food, and I had to rely seriously on hitting Tricks of the Trade just to afford getting Byregot's Blessing, but that said, the rotation I used day 2 wasn't really designed for minimum CP.

If you haven't already, I really would suggest aiming to complete your crafting quests so you have access the OP ability that is Manipulation II. After that you'll find with a little more proper ability usage you should be good to go

EDIT: Don't use Piece by Piece without Steady Hand up. Also, you can save an additional 42 CP by using standard Waste Not. You're covering Waste Not II, for effectively 3 steps of the 8 it provides. Given that Maker's Mark removes the CP, and DUR cost of Flawless Synth. If you can get an additional 8 CP, whether it be from getting tricks of the trade procs, or doing a little melding then you can do a cheaper, but slightly less effective non-RNG rotation to what people here have proposed with Prudent If you don't have the gil to afford melds, then you may want to look at doing some gathering, and doing some red scrips for your crafter and spending them on Grade IV materia rather than getting from the marketboard

What rotation is that?And I can get 8 more CP if I meld my Main and off hand.

This was just a quick rush together, but provided you can get the 12,208 base quality you will always HQ, give or take, with more, or less control
EDIT: Just a heads up on here I have put Innovation then Ingenuity II, Swap those around
