Qunoot is optional, and some people who read it, they read it  on prayer fajr only.
Salam/Peace,

The standard reading of Qanoot is in Witr that is Wajib( non obligatory but close  ) remembrance ... the some people thing can not be standard in Fajr... People do  do supplicate in all sorts at the time of great troubles but making it a standard is another matter! So keep as simple as per sunnah! Masalaama

Fajr (morning before sunrise) 2 unit fard (obligatory), 2 unit sunah (optional) before only.
2 sunnah supererogatory/ recommended 
Dhuhr (noon) 4 unit fard (obligatory), 4 unit sunah (optional) before, 4 unit sunah (optional) after.
optional are in supererogatory/ recommended category! after are 2 supererogatory & 2 units are optional nafal!
Asr (afternoon) 4 unit fard (obligatory), 2 unit sunah (optional) before only.
No sunnah at asr
Maghrib (after sunset) 2 unit fard (obligatory), 2 unit sunah (optional) after only.
It is 3 units fard not 2 ; 2 sunnah are supererogatory or recommended 
 
Isha (night) 4 unit fard (obligatory), 2 unit sunah (optional) before, 2 unit sunah (optional) after.
2 after are sunnah supererogatory/ recommended  and 3 Witr Wajibs

Fard (obligatory) means you have to do it, if don't you will get sin (not consider you've performed the prayer yet), if you do it you get reward.
 
Sunah (optional, recommended) means you don't have to do it,  if you do it you get reward, if you don't, it's OK.
optional and recommended are in separate categories
My suggestion for the beginning just to do the obligatory. After you are getting useed to it, you can add the optional. Just do it gradually, little by little.
