Hello and thank you for asking HCM.

This urinalysis is normal. So don't worry. Traces of protein can be found in healthy persons if they do heavy exercises, or in some emotional stress.
Also,depending of the kit used for the urinalysis 1-3 WBC (pus cells) or in other kits (3-5 WBC) are considered a normal amount to be found in a normal urine from a healthy person. So at this moment i don't think that there is anything wrong with you and your urinalysis.
However if you have symptoms like
-burning sensation while urinating,
-the urge to urinate
-pelvic discomfort etc,

It can suggest an urinary tract infection.

My advice for you is to have plenty of fluids, possible 2-3 liters each day.
-increase Vitamin C in your diet (oranges,lemons)
-Cranberry Juice

If you have any other question,please feel free to contact me

Wish you good health.
