Italian sausage is not the best choice. All sausages are very high in fat. Unless you are getting the sausage from a good quality local butcher, it'll also be full of preservatives and nitrates. Read the ingredients list. I wouldn't be surprised if half the ingredients you couldn't even pronounced.
You would be much better off buying some good quality grass fed ground beef and flavouring it with italian seasoning. Sauté it with some onions and garlic. It'll taste way better then any store bought italian sausage and be much healthier. You can also cook up big batches and freeze some for later to make food prep really easy.
