146 kilograms is 22 st 13.9 lb. The exact arithmetic is 146 × 0.1574730444 = 22.991064485 stones, using the defined factor rather than a rounded one, so this matches what a calibrated instrument would give you.
At 146 kg, BMI works out to 57 at 1.60 m, 50.5 at 1.70 m, 45.1 at 1.80 m and 40.4 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.
