Our First Favorite under 500 calories

Italian Sausage Stew - yummy!  When we decided we wanted to start losing weight we tracked what Russ was eating and decided we would cut calories down to 500 a meal, he has since lost 25 or so pounds.  We just have looked through cookbooks and things and have been trying new things, this was the first big hit!
1 lb italian sausage browned in olive oil along with red onion, two cloves finely diced garlic, two sliced small zucchini squash , green, red and yellow pepper strips, black pepper to taste cook til onions and pepper are tender, add in 1 can diced italian tomatoes and one can garbanzo beans (drained). Cook for 20 minutes and it is done.
