Yaakov’s name was not changed but Yisrael was added. He is called/referred alternately by both names thereafter.

Two people ate bread. How could it be that one ate a half loaf and was obligated to recite Birkas Hamazon, and the second ate two loaves and was not obligated to recite Birkas Hamazon?

Second person ate the loaves in "shiurim" too small amount over too long a period of a time to say Birkas Hamazon
