Answer:

Table sugar has more calories than aspartame. A teaspoon of table sugar (4 grams) contains approximately 16 calories, while a teaspoon of aspartame (0.5 grams) contains only 0.4 calories. This is because table sugar is a carbohydrate and contains four calories per gram, while aspartame is a non-nutritive sweetener and is virtually calorie-free.

Table sugar has more calories than aspartame.

Table sugar, also known as sucrose, contains 4 calories per gram, whereas aspartame contains only 0.2 calories per gram. This makes table sugar much higher in calories than aspartame.
