300/300/150 *may* be a bit high for you(3700kcals) - but you are in the right area.

What are you eating now? And be honest...

At 200lbs I would say start with:

200g Protein
300g Low GI Carbs
75g good fats

And then look to make small increments in your macros (P/C/F) each week as required.

Alot of people are only able to consume large amounts of protein via shakes - nothing wrong with that, but I'd try and eat a varied range of protein and a varied range of carbs and veg and add in your shakes as required.

You may want some fast acting carbs before and during training but really only you can tell how your body is reacting to your diet and training.

Usual rules apply when bulking - you can do high carb/low fat or high fat/low carb mixing high amounts of both can promote fat storage.

6/7 meals per day is generally found to be the best way - eating every 2/3 hours as required.

Theres a few diet articles on here, google will have loads etc

Let us know how you get on.
