The maximum weight for a ninja was around 60kg (60kg = 132.277357 pounds). This was because they had to be able to hang from ceilings and other places using just their thumbs and forefingers. They were supposed to have constantly trained by lifting bales of rice (which then weighted around 60kg) using only their fingers to enable them to perform this feat.
In order to keep down their weight, the ninja ate what would now be called diet foods which were low in calories and fat, and rich in protein.
Today a ninja need only feed an enemy with the tasty bounty available from the vast array of fast food joints to kill him/her.. if the enemy deserves a long, slow, torturous death - though not very cost effective.
