Me too - I have a grazer. I keep her bowl filled with the dry food all the time. Being so small I've always felt it was best to have the food available to her all the time.
I feed my Brittany twice a day - morning and dinner - measured amounts of the dry food and add the *yummy* stuff at dinner. Yorkie and Brittany eat dinner side by side - it's pretty weird to see - lol
I've encouraged this because she really had *food issues* when I got her. She, up until recently, used to grab a bite from the bowl, run away with it, scarf it down, look around and sneak back for another bite. It made me feel so bad! She was the runt and I think she was a little bullied by her littermates.
At 2lbs 8oz I wouldn't think it's too much. Having a snack she can rely on would help keep her blood glucose levels stable. That was my line of thought anyway.
As mine got older and learned to graze, I stopped being concerned about her having any hypo episodes and was able to cut out the nutrical.
Eating *around* the dry food - lol - yah - they can be picky little buggars!!
