Don't be too quick to judge about overeating...

LOTS of the Yorkies here (mine included) have Standard sized parents, grow to be Teapots (7+ lbs) and show that ability starting about the age of yours now.

As far as how you feed it...
This is my way to do it, and not used by all here. But I leave food out 24/7 for mine. This way they can eat or nibble when they want. I have had some evidence that when one feeds them once/twice/whatever times a day, that they gobble everything up because (I think) they think it may not come again. I think that this way eases the pressure on them not to gobble it all up.

Just IMHO.
