Is twice-daily feeding sufficient for my small dog's calories?

Question

Heidi and Ginger love the low salt chicken broth over their Diamond Naturals dog food. It doesn't take much to soften their food. I understand Chihuahuas need to have food down more often than large dogs. Will twice a day for both dogs not to exceed the number of suggested calories for Ginger be sufficient? I've split Ginger's calories between the two meals. Ginger won't eat vegetables unless they are minced into her food. Heidi steals my carrots, broccoli and many more. Thank you, Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Female | 3 years and 3 months old | 12 lbs

While young small breed dogs can develop toy breed hypoglycemia, it would be rare for an adult dog to have this problem and require frequent meals. I think twice a day is probably just fine for both dogs as long as they don’t have any other medical problems.
