So far I am lost. I have like 173 WU. I have submitted probably about 16-29 complete proteins since I started. How is that equating?!?!?!?

What is a WU?

Some of the proteins like the bbalphaua, bbalphauaht count for 5 work units while others like the tripzip count for 3 wu. The work units that you get are credited according to how long it takes to how long it takes to fold a protein since some are larger and take much longer to fold than others.
