I have 2 yorkies, Chase (11-12lbs) and Calvin (5-6lbs). I feed them 2 times a day (6:30am and 6:30pm). For their breakfast, they get kibble (Now Fresh Grain Free Small Breed), Chase 1/4 cup and Calvin about 1/8 cup and about a tablespoon of Grandma Lucy's (dehydrated, then I add about 2-3 tablespoons of water to each) each. For dinner they get the same kibble and same amounts as breakfast plus about a tablespoon of canned food (Weruva). They don't get too many treats, but as a midday snack they get 1/2 cookie (Buddy Biscuit, Grandma Lucy's, or Sojos) if I'm home and if I'm at work they get a frozen Kong (with Honest Kitchen or Sojos, about a tablespoon, and half a cookie). These amounts work for my boys, although in the summer I give them more wet food with dinner because our walks are longer and they lose weight otherwise. We also brush their teeth every night.
