They can be either but not both. So if you decide to use them for your protein, you'd need to have a brown as well, like brown rice. And if you decided they were your brown, then you'd need to have some protein.

I would probably melt a slice of cheese on it and use it as protein. But I normally use beans as my carb, and have meat with them.
