Okay, dogs should eat (on average) 35-40 calories per pound per day.
So, your girl should be eating somewhere around 63 or 72 calories.

One cup of Blue Buffalo Small Bites (I think this is the kind you meant?) is 492 calories. That means that 1/4 has about 123 calories in it and 1/8 cup has about 62 calories in it. That means that if you went by calories alone she should be eating 1/8 cup or so a day. The company says that dogs under 5 pounds should eat 1/4-1/2 cup per day but that seems like too much. I would think 1/8 cup would be fine and maybe mix it with something to entice her.

That is my best guess.
