Revised diet
I made a few changes.
Some of the sample diets I found on the site seems like quite a bit more food for 3,000 cals....not yet sure whether or where I am going wrong.
This is just a example of a day....I do have red meat, pasta etc.
Breakfast - 735 cals (29g fat, 96g carbs, 22g protein):
100g Oats, 250 ml 2% Milk, 1 x Banana, 15ml Flaxseed Oil, 1 cup Coffee
Pre-Workout - 430 cals (3g fat, 76g carbs, 25g protein):
30g Whey Protein, 1 x Banana, 64g Raisins
Post-Workout - 481 cals (15g fat, 56g carbs, 31g protein):
40g Oats, 30g Whey Protein, 1 x Banana, TBSP Peanut Butter
Lunch - 313 cals (2g fat. 38g carbs, 35g protein):
170g Shredded Tuna in Salt water, 100g broccoli, 2 slices Wholegrain bread
Snack - 185 cals (10g fat, 14g carbs, 9g protein):
175g Bulgarian Low Fat Yoghurt, 10 x Almonds
Dinner - 547 cals (6g fat, 82g carbs, 44g protein):
195g Brown Rice, 295g mixed Vegetables, 100g Chicken breast
Late night - 254 cals (19g fat, 12g carbs, 8g protein):
15ml Flaxseed Oil, 250ml 2% Milk
That gives me a total of 2,950 cals made up off 84g fat (26%), 374g carbs (50%), 174g protein (24%)
I am still about 10g short on protein.

Looking much better, at least from a total calorie standpoint.
I wouldn't be too concerned over a 10-gram protein discrepancy; your actual intake will likely vary more/less than that anyway from one day to the next.
One other thing to consider, and I'm out; choose foods that you like, and can eat all the time, and don't limit yourself to just a few "approved bodybuilder foods." While you can certainly build muscle on chicken, rice, and broccoli, eating the same bland foods all the time will get really old. Eating adequate macros is a full-time job, but if you come to hate your meals, yerdoinitwrong.No brain, no gain.

I also dont think you need 3000 cal. I would start and find your maintenance.....then slowly bring up cals. 200 then 300. Going on a 400-500 cal surplus will just cause you to gain too much fat. You dont need that big a surplus to gain...you do need a surplus though. (unless in the newb phase)
Your goal of 11lbs while getting leaner might need some examination as well...... How did you come up with 11?....why not 10 or 12....why 11?RAW lifts

I am currently 80kg and a bit skinny. My target weight is 85kg and 5kg = 11lbs.
85kg seems like a realistic mid term goal and is a realistic weight for someone my length.
I don't really care whether it is 85 or 87, I just feel a bit skinny and want to add some muscle.
It's a 12 month goal, since I want to add 5kg while reducing my fat % from 18% back to 15% where it use to be before I stopped going to gym regularly.

You would likely accomplish this better and more efficiently if you chose one or the other first rather then trying to do both simultaneously. What your wanting to do is effectively recomp, which in my experience is tricky to successfully pull off without spinning your wheels.
Gaining 11 lbs of muscle in 1 year is a great goal to have, but the reality is something else - especially if you already have a decent base and/or have gone through the honeymoon stage of lifting.
Regarding your diet, your refactored plan looks better then what you initially posted.http://www.myfitnesspal.com/food/diary/Kingthumper
