145 pounds is 65.77089365 kg. The exact arithmetic is 145 × 0.45359237 = 65.77089365 kilograms, using the defined factor rather than a rounded one, so this matches what a calibrated instrument would give you.
At 65.7709 kg, BMI works out to 25.7 at 1.60 m, 22.8 at 1.70 m, 20.3 at 1.80 m and 18.2 at 1.90 m. The healthy band tops out at 25, so the same weight can sit in three different categories depending on height — which is the whole limitation of the index.
The result sits 0.7709 kg past 65 kg, so if you need a round figure to quote, 65 kg is the honest nearest one. Plenty of people do this in their head: divide by 2.2 instead of using the exact factor 0.45359237. At 145 that shortcut gives 65.909091 kilograms, off by 0.1382 kilograms or about 0.21%. Fine for a rough estimate, not fine for anything you are cutting to size or dosing.
