Aspartame has more calories. Why? Because aspartame manufactures four calorie kilograms of energy per gram when it's transfigured. Why is table sugar not the answer? Because table sugar manufactures 3.9 calorie kilograms. Also, aspartame is 200 times as sweet as table sugar, so it is eaten in much smaller portions. So your answer would be aspartame.

Answer: aspartame has more

Explanation: Aspartame contains 4 calories per gram (g), similar to sugar. It is, however, around 200 times sweeter than sugar. This means that only a tiny amount of aspartame is necessary to sweeten foods and drinks. so answer is aspartame
