The popular Redbarn brand is 29 calories/inch. Fat is about 1% (slightly more on a dry matter basis). So it would depend on how much your pup actually swallows per day. If there are just teeth marks in it, then it would be fine for a diet. If there is an inch+ gone per day, then that's getting into quite a few calories for a Yorkie... I wouldn't want to be cutting back food just so more chew calories can be given because it just isn't balanced.
