I agree with you but sadly the number of people who don't know their body
mass in kilograms in the US is in the overwhelming majority.  Most states at
least teach SI but mine is famous for having an aversion to it which
apparently extends into the higher academic professions.

To give them a frame of reference, you could say "I'm 63 kg, so I would

1.26 grams" (or whatever the numbers are).

I suggest you complain to the professor's boss about her. Anyone who does
not
know his body mass in kilograms (if he knows it at all) or the number of
milligrams in a kilogram is seriously behind the times. I was 36 kg
sometime
in the 70s and I have never known my weight in any other unit.
