That is a tough question since the weight and size of Yorkies can vary so much. We have less than 2 pound adults and up to 18 pounds! Instead look at the body build. Feel for the ribs -- you should be able to feel them but not feel like they are protruding. Do they have plenty of energy, play hard and look happy? Then they are probably getting enough to eat.

Some days it does not seem like mine make a dent in their kibble. But they are so rowdy, run our fenced acre like aspiring greyhounds and give kisses like there is no tomorrow. So, I think they are probably getting enough. Just some times they are not as hungry as others.
