Default Breakfast for stress/anxiety

So in the past I went through a period of a lot of panic attacks.. but have gotten over that. I still deal with OCD and various obcessive fears and such. Very rarely I get the mini adrenaline rush type feelings of a panic attack. Ive noticed the importance of breakfast. A good protein filled breakfast really helps to keep me calm through out the day..

Today I was in a rush and all I had was a peeled apple for breakfast.. I later had lunch but got in a little argument and was a bit stressed.. then like 2 hours after lunch I felt some adrenaline/stressy feelings.. For lunch I had eggs, sweet potato and avocado which is a good meal.. but I feel like starting the day with 1 peeled apple set me off on the wrong footing and left me vulnerable to higher stress later in the day.

What do you guys think? Its pretty well known that protein is important for stress/anxiety... and the importance of a good breakfast to start the day off right.

Do you think a poor/inadequate breakfast could off balance the rest of the day even if you eat a good meal for lunch?

I can see that if you are hungry that you would be aggitated much easier than normal. I have a protein shake/mix everything morning, add physililum husk for the fiber, which keeps me pretty full until dinner. I swear good quality green tea relaxes me more than anything and keeps me alert, while coffee used to add to anxiety.
