Question on eating properly for below average height guy

Hi Dr. Santana,
I am recently trying to eat properly for the NLP (months ago it was ~ 1400 kcal). But not really sure if my targets are correct for my height. I am starting to hit 160g of protein, 275 g of carbs and 68 g of fat. It is quite hard to eat more protein without feeling heavy all the time. If I supplement with egg protein powder (and hitting 190g) just before bed would it make a difference? I now that your articles mentions 200g of protein and at least 3000 kcal, I was wondering if that proportion applies in my case.
This are my records:
Squat: 206 lbs
Press: 93 lbs
Bench Press: 123 lbs
Deadlift 220 lbs
* Progression at 1 lbs/per session
* Train after 6:00pm
I really appreciate any advice on this.
